The Mayor of Atlantic City, New Jersey, and his wife were indicted Tuesday on charges related to the alleged abuse of their teenage daughter. Prosecutors also accused him of "punching his daughter repeatedly in her legs causing bruising" during another alleged incident. The mayor's wife, who is the superintendent of Atlantic City Public Schools, is alleged to have hit the girl on several occasions. "Another incident alleged that La’Quetta Small punched her daughter in the mouth during an argument." Mayor Small was with her at the time and told the nurse the same story, according to NBC Philadelphia.
