Dayton, OH — A father who beat his two daughters with a cord has been charged with child endangerment and corporal punishment.

Greg Horn, 35, whipped his daughters, ages 12 and 14, with a video cable after walking in on the girls recording themselves “twerking.” Twerking involves wobbling or jiggling the hips and buttocks. Or, to borrow Miley Cyrus’s definition, “It’s a lot of booty action.”

The video was first posted on WorldStarHipHop.com before making its way to YouTube. Several reaction videos popped up shortly afterward.

According to the police report, one of the girls had visible welts on her legs and open wounds in the thigh area from being beaten with the video cable. The girls’ mother noticed the wounds and called police.

The 30 second video sparked a debate over whether Horn’s actions were abusive or good parenting. Some felt that he went too far — at one point, one of the girls screams, “Daddy, stop,” but he continues to beat her — while others felt he was teaching his daughters a lesson and preventing them from engaging in more inappropriate behavior. Ultimately, even though the video had gone viral and left many wondering why the police hadn’t been notified, it was the mother’s intervention that led to an arrest.

Horn’s indictment comes during the first week of Child Abuse Awareness Month.

“The goal is always to keep kids safe,” Montgomery County Children Services spokesman Kevin Lavoie said. He also added that when people are reporting cases of child abuse, they don’t have to leave a name or even have definitive proof that abuse is taking place. The suspicion of abuse is more than enough.

“It may be nothing,” Lavoie said. “But rather than analyze it, let our specialists figure it out and the best course of action.”

Although it was initially reported that the girls were beaten for recording themselves twerking, they told police they were beaten for sneaking out of the house.

Greg Horn is scheduled to appear in court on April 16 for his arraignment hearing.

Do you think Greg Horn was justified in beating his daughters with a video cable, whether for twerking or for sneaking out of the house?

Damn, but everytime they bend over they gone have flashbacks and #**%.

Daddy nooooooo!!!!!!!
 
:wow: I didn't know that twerking video was based from Dayton. I'm born, raised, and still live in Dayton. I saw on the news that he was arrested for whipping the girls with the video cord, but they didn't mention the twerking.

Dont discipline your kids & film it....
Says in da article that da mother's call because she noticed da welts on their bodies was what caused da police to take action.
 
when good parenting goes wrong

edit: just watched the video. damb that was a little over the top but kids these days are too sensitive. thank god I only have a son cause I might react like this if I caught my daughter doin this stuff. they're ruined now I'm sure and he was just trying to do what he thought was right. I understand dude.

the whole situation is awful. what kind of parents don't talk about something like that that went down. and then to go to the police. it's different if he had an abusive past or this was unwarranted but they definitely deserved every strike.

police and government need to mind their ******g business when it comes to parent's doing what's best for their kids. this isn't even close to repetitive abuse
 
This is what happens when an adult can't control his emotions and beat his children in anger. There's a fine line between discipline and crimes of passion. I hope they lock dude up and throw away the key.
 
right? because he's suppose to smile while whooping her ***. calm, cool, and collected. like a robot because this beating is just a piece of the process in the parenting program.


he should be angry at his children, and they should feel his anger and disappointment. :rolleyes

Actually yes. It's obvious from watching that vid that it had nothing to do with discipline and more to do with his emotions. I hope he learns his lesson in jail.


The beating was over the top, I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Anyhow props to the mother, makes me think this is not the first time this has happened.

as a kid, i got beat with everything from a hangar to a bag of groceries. my momma didnt play, but i did alot of stupid things so i guess i deserved it 

i didnt watch the video so i cant say i agree or disagree with said beating, but a good a** whoopin is necessary sometimes 
 
the more i think about it dude did kind of OD, the whole things is just a mess though from the mother, father, and daughters :smh:
 
Kids have it so easy these days, I don't care what anyone says discipline made me the man I am today. Of course there is a line you shouldn't cross, but to let your children slide with anything and just call 911 talking about some abuse because I refuse to let my child have no discipline in my household is unacceptable. Timeout don't cut it bruh.
