Man Caused Brain Trauma by Striking Preteen in Head

A Missouri man could be facing up to 30 years in prison after allegedly severely injuring his wife’s preteen daughter by striking her in the head multiple times.

According to reports, early in the evening on November 22, the man was angry with the 12-year-old when he told her to clean her room, and she refused. Her mother tried to get her to straighten the mess, but she still would not budge. When the woman went downstairs and entered the kitchen, her husband told her if she couldn’t deal with the situation he would.

Her husband went back to her daughter’s room, and the woman went up shortly after. She allegedly saw the man hit her daughter in the side of the head three times, and the girl appeared to be seriously injured. The woman ordered her husband to keep his hands to himself, and he left the home. The girl reportedly began screaming, and her breath was labored. Her mother called 911, and a deputy from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was sent to investigate the situation.
