Let's check in on the Jersey shore real quick:
Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. and his wife La'Quetta, who happens to be the city's superintendent, were indicted this week by a grand jury for charges filed in April that alleged the couple had horrifically abused their own daughter.
Prosecutors said that on Jan. 13, 2024, Marty Small Sr. hit his daughter multiple times in the head with a broom, causing her to lose consciousness.
Ten days earlier, they said, Small engaged in an argument with his daughter, grabbing her head and throwing her to the ground, and threatening to throw her down a flight of stairs. He threatened to "smack the weave out" of her head during the incident, according to prosecutors.
The 50-year-old Democratic mayor also is accused of punching his daughter repeatedly in the legs, causing bruising.
He beat his 15-year-old daughter unconscious with a broomstick according to the indictment, along with other extremely violent actions.
Then there's the mom:
La'Quetta Small, 47, is accused of punching her daughter multiple times on the chest, leaving bruising. In another alleged incident, she is accused of dragging her daughter by the hair and striking her with a belt on her shoulders, leaving marks.
In yet another incident, La'Quetta Small is accused of punching her daughter in the mouth during an argument.
Lord, have mercy.
Mayor Small is refusing to step down:
These two are at the helm of a major American city.
