Man Admits To Abusing Child For Being Spoiled

A Pennsylvania man admitted repeatedly punching and kicking his
wife's 2-year-old daughter because he believed the girl was a spoiled
princess who needed to be toughened up.

Twenty-five-year-old Brandon Bishop pleaded guilty Wednesday to
aggravated assault for a series of assaults between March and May.


Police say the abuse was reported by a relative who noticed the girl
was limping and missing clumps of hair. Officers who interviewed Bishop
say he told them he beat the girl to make her tougher.


Matthew Falk, a Lehigh County prosecutor, says Bishop made no effort to hide the abuse from his wife.


The girl's mother, Candace Watts, pleaded guilty Wednesday to child
endangerment and agreed to testify at Bishop's Jan. 25 sentencing.


The couple got married a few days before their arrests in June.
