Father, Shuman guards charged
By Barbara White Stack, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Five Shuman Juvenile Detention Center guards and the father of a Penn Hills boy were criminally charged yesterday as a result of a "scared straight" incident at the lockup Sunday in which the 13-year-old boy was beaten.
Police said the boy's father, Anthony Donald Sr., of Penn Hills, placed the youngster, who has never been charged with a crime, in the hands of two friends who are Shuman guards. Donald was charged with misdemeanor counts of conspiracy and child endangerment.
Donald Jr. said the guards ordered him to strip in a public place and put on a uniform. When he refused, he said, four guards forced him to the ground, beat him and stripped off his pants.
