A Kissimmee man was arrested
on allegations of disciplining a friend's child by making the 6-year-old boy kneel on bottle caps for several minutes.

Jose Ferrer, 41, was arrested on charges of child abuse and domestic violence.

According to Kissimmee police, officers were called Tuesday to Cypress Elementary School when a teacher noticed bruises on one of her students.

Officers spoke with the boy and learned that he had been made to kneel on bottle caps as a form of punishment for misbehaving at school, police said.

Detectives interviewed Ferrer, who said that he had disciplined the child by making him kneel in a corner on bottle caps for several minutes, according to police. Ferrer said the child had received a "sad face" on his school agenda for the day, according to police.
