A Palmetto man who said he did not want his daughter to get fat was arrested on a child abuse charge Monday after he grabbed the girl by the hair and threw her to the ground when she asked for something to eat, the Sheriff's Office reported.
Alex Mesa, 31, got into a argument with his 10-year-old daughter around 11 p.m. Monday at his home in the 4000 block of 3rd Avenue Boulevard East in Palmetto.
Deputies say that Mesa slapped his daughter once before asking her if she would go live with her mother.
When Mesa's daughter said she wanted to live with her mother, Mesa grabbed her by the hair and threw her on the bathroom floor, deputies reported.
