John Rollins Tuggle, 37, of Hayden traveled to northern Idaho to visit his daughter, whom he had not seen in 10 years because he had been locked up in an Idaho prison, said Sheriff Chuck Reynalds of Shoshone County, Idaho.
On Wednesday, Tuggle told his daughter he was taking her to a mall, but Reynalds said he instead took her to a remote area in the wilderness called the Lost Creek drainage.
She was stabbed all over her body and was near death.
A family that pulled into a nearby campsite heard the girl yelling for help about 1 p.m. She was about 40 yards off in the brush, and it was only by chance that anyone even found her, Reynalds said.
"She could not walk. She was weak," Reynalds said.
The girl had to be carried to the family's camper, and they drove her to an eatery, where they called for help.
Jones said information about what kind of treatment Tuggle got while in prison was not available.
"At that time frame, we did not have a lot of sex-offender treatment," Jones said.
It's not clear if the girl had been allowed to go with her father.
"We have not talked to the mother," Reynalds said. "She is a basket case and has been with her daughter in the hospital room."
Reynalds said he didn't know whether the girl was sexually assaulted during the incident.
"We have not interviewed her yet, and we do not know. We have no idea. Basically what we have done is put her in skilled professional hands," he said. http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_2881245

I was outraged and told the judge that i would not allow it. Period. She said I would be found in contempt of court if I didn't obey the order. I told her I'd gladly pay that fine or do the time becuase she couldn't put a price on my children's safety. He pressed the issue for all of about a month...he was just trying to cause me grief and had no real interest in the children. So needless to say, I believe I was justified in what I did. If you're not going to big your child's biggest advocate, who is? It is certainly proven we cannot trust our judges to make the decision that is "best for the children invovled":snooty: .
