Father indicted on misdemeanor charge for locking daughter in dog cage

A Springfield Township father has been indicted on a misdemeanor charge for binding his daughter with duct tape and locking her in a dog cage.

James Tapke, 41, was indicted on one count of unlawful restraint. If convicted, he faces 60 days in jail.

Prosecutors say Tapke put duct tape on his 12-year-old daughter's hands, feet and mouth and then put her in a dog cage that was for the family's bull mastiff. The daughter is alleged to have been in the cage for no more than a matter of minutes and told investigators that she would often voluntarily get in the cage to play or sleep with the dog.

The Hamilton County Department of Jobs and Family Services investigated and ordered the father out of the home. The child lives with her paternal grandparents, who have legal custody of the child.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - St. Xavier High School’s Alexander Bailey achieved a perfect composite score of 36 on the ACT college entrance exam.

The junior, who goes by Xeny, is the fourth St. X student in the last year to achieve this rare milestone.

Xeny took the test in early December, though it wasn’t his first time.

“I actually took it in middle school as part of an academic talent search program,” he said. “I thought I might do well, but I never expected a perfect score.”

Bailey also scored a perfect 1,600 on the math and language portions of the SAT test, another standardized college exam he took in November. (He scored better than a 700 on the writing portion of the three-part test).

In addition to his academic gifts, Xeny has played tennis for two years and been part of the XMen chorus. He participates in community service by way of Saturday morning work at the Freestore Foodbank.
