Jon Gosselin denies Abuse allegations from 16-year-old son Collin
Collin, Jon’s and Kate’s 16-year-old son, has accused Jon Gosselin of beating him, which Jon denies. The story of the Gosselin family has taken yet another turn as reports of dysfunction have plagued the 10-person crew for years since Jon’s and Kate’s divorce. Jon has never abused Collin. Collin has endured severe trauma. Jon is a loving father who has worked hard to ensure that Collin gets the support and help he needs.
County of Berks, Pennsylvania Child & Youth Services (CYS) has opened an investigation into an incident between Jon and Collin. No charges have been filed against Jon and there is no ongoing CYS investigation. Collin’s mother Kate has reportedly been informed of the investigation. Collin accused his father of abuse in a since-deleted Instagram post. A CYS report states that the allegation against an attacker is causing bodily injury to a child through recent act/failure to act: hitting/punching.
Jon is reportedly not named in the report. Kate spoke about the alleged incident. There is a child abuse law, PA 23, section 8i states that doing any of the following, regardless of whether it causes injury, is child abuse, and first on that list is kicking.
Kate does not want her children around Jon Gosselin.
Enough is enough. Kate stressed that she does not want this allegation to be buried, swept under the rug, or minimized. Kate is not going to sit quietly and idly by while any of her children is assaulted by anyone, let alone their own father. Kate is spotlighting this, and she will keep shouting about it, in the hopes that the authorities and the courts will finally do the right thing.
Jon needs to be charged with a crime. Collin got furious and was screaming and swearing. When they got home, Collin was still screaming and cursing and he went into the garage and got a big heavy bottle of liquid and hurled it at Jon’s car, denting it. Jon got out of the car enraged, put Collin in a headlock, punched Collin square in the nose, and when Collin fell to the ground, Jon kicked him in the ribs.
Collin then called the police. There has been no charges or citations filed as a result of that incident. Jon and Kate were married for 10 years before divorcing in 2009. Jon and Kate share eight children, 19-year-old twins Cara and Madelyn, and 16-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Aaden, Joel, Leah, Hannah, and Collin. Collin and his sister Hannah live with Jon while the rest of the children live with Kate.
Jon previously accused Kate of mentally abusing Collin and sending him to a special needs institution, leaving him with post-traumatic stress disorder.
