A Twentynine Palms man was arrested Wednesday evening, accused of child cruelty when he disciplined his grandchild. According to a Sheriff’s report, Robert Feskanich, 47, in the 6400 block of Mariposa Avenue was supposed to babysit his three-year-old grandson about 6:30 p.m. The report states Feskanich called his son to come pick up the boy because he wasn’t behaving. The boy’s father noticed the toddler had redness and a small bruise, and when questioned, the boy said his grandfather had hit him. Feskanich admitted to spanking the boy because he refused to listen to his instructions. After an investigation, Robert Feskanich was arrested on suspicion of felony child cruelty, booked at the Morongo Basin Jail, with his bail set at $100,000.
