According to the W.Va. State Police Dept., a doctor, who is also a pastor, was charged with battery and child abuse creating risk of injury to a child.
Sgt. Hammack, with the W.Va. State Police Dept., says he received a complaint in Sept. from the daughter of a 77-year-old patient with Parkinson's, dementia and a broken hip.
Dr. Kenneth Seen operates a practice in Spencer, W.Va.
Through an investigation and search warrants, it was revealed that Dr. Seen's account of events could not have happened. The investigation discovered that a significant portion of Seen's tongue had been bitten off.
According to the police, the only way Seen's tongue could have been bitten is if Seen had stuck his tongue in the patient's mouth.
Seen was charged with battery following the investigation.
In a separate complaint filed by the parent of a child who attends the Christian Society of Roane County, Seen was accused of repeatedly striking a child in the back after the child did not comply with something Seen asked him to do.
Seen was charged with child abuse creating risk of injury to a child. Police are still speaking with teenage witnesses.
Seen has not been arraigned and no bail has been set.
