(Scroll down for video) A man was arrested and charged with child abuse related charges after he was seen on video beating his own daughters, according to court proceedings in Ohio.
The man, Greg Horn, 35, of Dayton, Ohio has received worldwide condemnation after publishing a video that showed him whipping his own daughters. The whipping came after the daughters published a dance video of themselves on the internet, according to press reports in the United Kingdom.
The video of the father beating his teenage daughters for posting the "twerking" video to Facebook was posted to the internet this week.
The 30-second clip, that showed Horn, hitting the young girls with an electrical cord, has drawn condemnation from viewers around the world, but some said that corporal punishment was coming to them for their behavior.
The man is seen slamming the screaming girls for posting the sexy video. It is not known when the video was taken.
“Beating your children like that is a form of torture and has shown to be counter productive. I'm glad that the authorities hunted down this man for what he did to his own daughters. There are other means of punishment like taking away internet access for a certain period of time,” Harry Goldfinger, 52, a child therapist in Miami, Florida told YourJewishNews.com after seeing the video.
Twerking is a type of dance that focuses on the backside.
Many in the online community called for child protection services to investigate the matter.
"No matter what these girls did, nobody deserves to be beaten like that. How do you keep going when the child is crying like that?" one online viewer of the video asked.
"He did the right thing," said another commentator.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view
