An Elgin pastor for two months regularly spanked a 13-year-old girl with a wooden stick to punish her for claiming she had been sexually abused by a relative, police said Thursday, a day after arresting the clergyman on a charge of battery.
The Rev. Daryl P. Bujak allegedly spanked the girl during weekly counseling sessions at his First Missionary Baptist Church last year because he thought she was lying about being abused.
The girl's parents first took her to the 30-year-old Bujak in March 2005 because they doubted her claims she had been molested by a family member, Elgin Police Lt. Michael Turner said. The girl, who was clothed during the spankings, suffered bruises and welts on her legs and buttocks, Turner said.
Charges of predatory criminal sexual assault were filed this week in McHenry County against Matthew Resh, 33, a relative of the girl.
Bujak, who surrendered late Wednesday to police and was released after posting $500 cash bail, couldn't be reached for comment Thursday on the battery charge.
It always irritates me that people believe that just because someone is a man of God that qualifies him to serve as a mental health counselor. What training did this moron have? He approached a sensitive, potentially trauma inducing crisis by heaping more punishment on a child who was already suffering at he hands of a trusted adult. I can only imagine how this child must view the adults in her life now.
Dealing with this kind of trauma requires many years of training and should never be ateempted by an amateur. Especially an amateur who still believes that children should be beaten for misbehaving.
I would love to have a shot at this prick myself. He clearly deserves a very substantial beating of his own.
