That's appalling, and qualifies, IMHO, as some form of child abuse. That dude should be beaten about the face with a solid-steel baseball bat. (Serious answer.) +5

This is child abuse. I would have him thrown out of the house immediately. He is using the children and their pain and fear to control the wife. Get out of there or you are worse then him putting your kids through this.

Omg...what kind parent are these.........

The guy should be charged child abuse.

The guy is a pig. Oink, oink, oink.

I think he should be chemically castrated so as to end the maddness!

if this is a serious true question, then the mother needs to start making plans to leave and take her daughter with her. need to know more about the hubby, but that is inexcusible.

Child will is an innocent victim and scared to death. Child should notify someone. Children Services should be notified and a complete investigation conducted. Remove the child, if warranted. This is considered emotional child abuse.

I would say he is probably mentally ill.

The guy is a serious arsehole, there is no doubt about that, but come on man, child abuse? I don't think some people on here understand just how serious child abuse is. Maybe this was an argument that had started in one room, and she then went into the daughter's room, if so, who's to blame then? We don't know the full story, all we know is that the guy is a grade 'A' arsehole for talking about that kind of thing in front of his child, but we do not know enough facts to be throwing around accusations of child abuse, that's a bit extreme. We all make mistakes, we all get angry, maybe even sometimes we're drunk and stupid, but he is not hitting the child or sticking his penis in her, this could well be a one-off situation at a bad moment, to be labelled a child abuser is just unbelievable to me, especially with such a lack of facts. And might I remind people, especially the guys, that it's a woman who asked this question, so if the woman said anything untoward in front of the child, she's hardly going to mention that is she? And we know how women conveniently forget important facts when it comes to remembering arguments, I'm just saying.

I think he intended it to be a joke .....He should not have yelled......hopefully the child is too young to understand ....otherwise that would be horrible!

Serious Answer: If you knew about this or were involved, did you notify the police, if not, why not? How do you know this actually happened?

The circumstance is bizarre for sure. Perhaps the only consideration that would keep the father from pulling the stunt again is that the young daughter will grow up to be a woman, and if by his example he wished to impart upon her such expectations for someday becoming a g/f, lover, wife, or s/o. From there maybe the couple can reach an understanding. His desire for such a treat is obsessive. Maybe they can arrange for him to just buy it, or to take the blessings of a loyal and subservient intern as did the honored and defended President of The United States of America (1993-2001). What's ok for a democrat president should be ok for an average Joe. Then he can keep that urge out of his domestic life.
