Steve and Dwight Hammond are also most likely child abusers.

Dusty told me that two or three months ago he and Steve had gotten into an argument about how Dusty was doing his chores. Dusty stated that Steve became very upset and charged him. Dusty stated that Steve hit him in the chest with a closed fist, knocking him to the ground. Dusty stated that Steve then took Dusty's face and rubbed it into the gravel.

The report further states that when Dusty was caught with tobacco, Steve made him eat two cans of Skoll smokeless tobacco, then again drove him ten miles away from the ranch and made him walk back.

Quote, then Dusty stated that Steve told him that he was not going to let Dusty deface the family by carving on himself. Dusty stated that Steve then took him and began to sand the initials off his chest. Steve sanded on each side of his chest for at least five minutes. Steve used a very coarse sandpaper to sand off the initials.
