A shocking video has emerged of a Texas mother striking her nine-year-old daughter in the front of her, because she was angry the girl had spoken to her husband when he visited her school.
The mother, identified as Angela Armendariz, is seen lashing out at the young girl and shouting curse words in the vicious attack.
The 36-year-old, of Pecos, says in the clip: 'Look at him and tell him why I bust your [expletive] [expletive]. Tell him why.'
The video went viral and authorities issued a warrant for Armendariz, who's been charged with injury to a child and bonded out, KWES reported.
The nine-year-old girl's father, Jesus Armendariz, told the TV station in an interview: 'The officer recommended me not to look at it because to him it was graphic.'
He recalled: 'I thought that at that time I was strong enough to handle it and so I watched it. I just can't believe what I was seeing.'
Jesus said he went to see the girl at school and his estranged wife was angry and took it out on her, the station explained.
The couple is in the middle of a divorce, he also revealed to KWES.
He claimed he's previously tried to report Angela's abuse of her children, however there was a lack of evidence.
According to KWES, authorities have issued a protective order to Angela and Jesus has custody of his nine-year-old daughter.
Jesus asked: 'A lot of kids get beat up and they get killed. If my child was to go back to her you think that behind closed doors she's not going to beat her again?'
