A Pennsylvania man took tough love to a sick new extreme when he beat up his girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter because she was a “princess,” records revealed Wednesday.
Brandon Bishop told detectives the defenseless little girl needed toughening up and admitted choking her, dragging her by the hair – and pounding on her head with a metal spoon.
By the time cops removed the girl from her hell-hole household, she had a skull fracture, walked with a limp, had clumps of hair missing – and bruises all over her body.
Bishop, 24, of Allentown, Pa., was charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and other charges. He was being held on $300,000 bond, according to court records.
The girl’s mom, Candace Watts, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child for not doing anything to protect her little girl, the records showed.
Watts told detectives that Bishop abused her daughter “for fun,” The Morning Call newspaper in Allentown reported.
Bishop allegedly began abusing the girl from the minute he moved into her mom’s apartment on March 7, according to the records.
While Watts was at work, Bishop used the girl as a punching bag, even hitting her in the crotch. He would pick her up by the hair and drop her to the floor.
Bishop also admitted choking the girl for up to a minute by covering her mouth with his hands, the records show.
Watts told detectives she never tried to stop Bishop from beating up her daughter, The Morning Call reported.
Bishop, the paper reported, told cops when he abused the girl “he feels like another person and that other person may be trying to kill the girl.”
