The pastor of a north
Minneapolis church and his son were arrested last week on assault
charges for beating a 12-year-old boy with a 2-by-4 and an electrical
cord as religious discipline, according to a criminal complaint filed
Tuesday.
Dong Wook
Kim, 51, of Good News Church, at 3000 W. Broadway Av., was charged with
two counts of assault in the second- and third-degree, and a single
county of malicious punishment of a child, all felonies, prosecutors
said. His 19-year-old son, Joo Seong Kim, faces the same charges.
