Father is suspected of hitting and choking his 12-year-old daughter with a belt in Boa Vista
A 45-year-old man in Boa Vista is under investigation for allegedly abusing his 12-year-old daughter by choking her with a belt.
In Boa Vista, Brazil, a 45-year-old man is suspected of severely abusing his 12-year-old daughter. According to reports, the father choked the girl with a belt as a form of punishment due to concerns about her relationships at school. The incident was reported by the girl's 19-year-old sister to the Military Police, who noted that the father was trying to discipline the girl for allegedly wanting to explore her sexual orientation.
The abuse unfolded in the family home located in the neighborhood of Raiar do Sol, where there is a security camera that captured the incident. The father had already demonstrated controlling behavior, reportedly preventing his daughters from leaving the house unsupervised and monitoring their activities. This controlling environment has raised serious concerns regarding the safety and well-being of the children involved.
The case highlights broader issues within the community regarding domestic violence and the treatment of children, particularly in contexts where traditional views on gender and sexuality prevail. Authorities are now investigating the extent of the abuse and whether additional protective measures are needed for the children as the legal process begins against the father.
