Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. and his wife, La’Quetta, the city’s superintendent of schools, have been indicted on child endangerment and other charges for allegedly beating their teenage daughter on numerous occasions, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office said the indictment was made Tuesday by a grand jury that accused the couple of child endangerment. Marty Small also was charged with assault and making terroristic threats.

Prosecutors said both parents hit and emotionally abused the girl, who was 15 to 16 years old, on multiple occasions in December and January.

    And maybe don’t beat your kids even if you’re not at risk of losing your job over it.

      I suspect these types require the ROI sort of justification for not doing what they are orherwise inclined towards

        Well, the ROI would be not getting fucking fired for criminal acts.

        Edit: I mean if you need an ROI to not commit a shitty act then you deserve the book thrown at you.

          This is what multigenerational trauma looks like, and we need to heal it.

              Ah, civility.

              May not mean much, but I read the comment as though you’re just fired up about it, and enjoyed the passion.
