This Dad Was Arrested After He Choked His 14-Year-Old Daughter For Posting Nude Pictures on Snapchat

A Tennessee dad was arrested for choking his daughter after finding out she had been posting nude photos of herself via Snapchat.


According to Cosmopolitan, the 14-year-old daughter was in an argument with her mother about pictures that were posted to the social media platform. She apparently wouldn’t let her mom spank her over the pictures, and that’s when her father, Christian Amason, stepped in.

The New York Post reports that the 45-year-old and 285-pound father proceeded to slap the teen across her face and also her back and legs. She fled to her room followed by her parents where Amason began to choke her.

After a few hours, the teen called her older sister to pick her up because she wanted to report the incident to the local police.

Later, both parents admitted to the deputies of spanking their teen. Amason claimed he lost his temper when he found out his daughter had been posting explicit photos of herself on Snapchat.

Christian Amason was charged with child abuse and neglect and is on bail for $2,000, according to the arrest report obtained by the New York Post. Needless to say, hopefully his daughter gets the help she needs.
