Elgin pastor charged with battery for allegedly spanking teen
Girl's stepfather faces sex abuse charges

May 11, 2006 (ELGIN, Ill.) - A pastor accused of spanking a 13-year-old girl who said she had been sexually abused by her stepfather has been charged with battery. Darryl Bujack is accused of using a piece of wood to spank the girl on several occasions as punishment for what he believed to be a lie.

Bujack is pastor at the First Missionary Baptist Church in Elgin. He is out on bond. The stepfather accused of sexually abusing the girl is also out on bond.

The 13girl's mother is in the process of filing for divorce from the stepfather. She said, for too long, those two men influenced how she handled her daughter's claims of sexual abuse.

"I thought, well, something must be wrong. Why would she be saying this? OK, if you say this is right -- it's my husband, the pastor, two men, authorities in my life. At that point, sure, OK. We'll do that," said the girl's mother.

This mother says that if she could do things differently, she would have listened to her daughter the first time the girl said she was abused by her stepfather. Instead, the girl was taken to their pastor, Darryl Bujack.

Bujack turned himself in to police Wednesday night, a night when he normally holds service at First Missionary Church. He is charged with battery, because police say for three months last year, before those Wednesday night services, Bujack routinely spanked the girl as punishment for her claims that she was sexually abused by her stepfather.

"He then proceeded to spank her with a 3-foot-by-2-inch-long piece of wood trim," said Lt. Mike Turner, Elgin Police.

It was March of last year when the girl, her mother and stepfather went to the pastor after the girl made the allegations against the stepfather. That's when the spankings started and continued until May when sometime afterward, the mother and daughter reported the spankings to DCFS.

During the investigation, DCFS notified the police about Bujack and Richmond police about the stepfather, who is charged with five counts of predatory sexual abuse.

"There was enough information obtained through the investigation that we were able to get an arrest warrant from the Kane County state's attorney's office," said Turner.

The 13-year-old girl has been going to counseling for several months and the mother is also in counseling.

Bujack appears again in court next month.

This is only an ALLEGATION. You forniscators need to learn the difference between PROOF and ALLEGATIONS. This young obviously has a history of making stuff up about adults to suit her manipulative needs.
In my opinion she needs to be sent to a TBS right away. I know of several that would work, including one boarding school in the northeast.
You make it seem like kids aren't little monsters who don't lie all the time, this kid is lying!

OMG Karen.  What type of response is that?

Let's see if there is proof, then the stepfather needs to fry.  And the pastor should be next in line.

If there is no proof (an "allegation" as you refer to it), then the family needs to find help professional help for this child.  Pathological lying, especially about sexual abuse is symptomatic of something abnormal...

And even if this child is lying, what right does a pastor have to "spank" a child/young woman with a paddle.  That is called ABUSE ... emotional, psychological, spiritual and physical ABUSE!!!  He should fry for that.  And before you quote "spare the rod and spoil the child", please understand that you will be misquoting scripture.  This pastor needs to fry ... regardless.

"You make it seem like kids aren't little monsters who don't lie all the time, this kid is lying!"  OMG, whatever happened to believing in innocent until proven guilty?  Just send her off to a TBS huh?  You are the type of parent who give all "program parents" a really bad name.

Next time, think a little more coherently before you post.  Or better yet, post on struggling teens.  You'll get a lot more support.

That one was a troll.

Geesh ... I don't get the whole troll thing.  Don't people have real lives .... do they honestly just sit around and try to inflame others?  God ... I'm too naive.   ::bangin::

It's actually a combination of the old 'reductio ad absurdum' argument, mockery of the program supporters, and the perverse joy of defending the clearly indefensible.

With that said, it's sometimes hard to discern the grotesquely exaggerated cultists from the real ones. Disturbing, isn't it?

That's why I loves me some trolls!  ::rocker:: You guys rock!

If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine- but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good- and CARES about any of it- to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working.
