A FATHER has been arrested for allegedly choking his daughter after she posted nude pictures of herself on social media.

According to police in Hamilton County, Tennessee, Christian Amason, 45 began choking his 14-year-old daughter after he discovered she had posted nude photos on Snapchat.

Police allege the argument started between the girl and her mother Norma Amason over pictures the teenager has posted on Facebook. When the girl prevented her mother from spanking her, that is when her father intervened, authorities claim.

According to a report filed by police, Amason allegedly grabbed the victim by the throat and started slapping her with an open hand to the upper and lower body.

The daughter then claimed the fight escalated and her father allegedly began grabbing her by the throat with both hands, cutting off her airways and choking her.

After that the girl said she called her older sister to come and pick her up and then met with police to file a report on the alleged incident.

According to police interviews, both parents allegedly admitted to hitting their daughter. The couple said they became very angry when they discovered their daughter had posted nude pictures of herself on Shapchat.

Snapchat allows users to share photos that expire and are erased from the mobile social media platform.

Amason allegedly told police officers he lost control and began hitting and choking his daughter.

He was taken into custody and charge with child neglect.

Child protective services were notified in regard to the assault of a child.
