And by “train for Mixed Martial Arts” I’m sure he means live out his sick fantasies of abuse and degradation. From Fox5 Vegas:
LAS VEGAS — Police said a Valley father chained his daughter to her bed because he thought she was overweight.
Robert Blue was in custody Tuesday night at the Clark County Detention Center, KVVU-TV in Las Vegas reported.
Blue, 53, was also accused of beating his 15-year-old daughter with a wooden stick and kicking her, police said.
Blue’s daughter was found beaten and in tears, according to a police report. The report said the girl was shackled to the bed on and off for two days.
In the arrest report, Blue told police his daughter was chained to her bed to keep her out of the kitchen and from overeating.
Neighbor Alicaer Fletes said he feels badly for the teenager. He said he didn’t know about the alleged abuse.
Blue said he was upset because his daughter weighs about 165 pounds, and Blue wanted her to weigh between 140 and 145 pounds, explaining that was her fighting weight in mixed martial arts.
“They’d have to be pretty sick, demented, mean and horrible,” said neighbor Kimberly Bissell.
Police said Blue had been chaining his daughter to the bed with a padlock and chain since Jan. 12, when he said he found pea and corn containers in her room. He said she had found a way around the chains on the pantry and refrigerator over the past month.
Blue also stated in the report that he didn’t think he had committed a crime and that he was acting in his daughter’s best interest.
Sick. And who in the hells puts their 15-year-old in training for MMA anyway?
Regardless, the girl wasn’t fat according to her actual trainer who should know, meaning Blue’s obsession with her weight was bogus to begin with. Here’s the video and tell me you aren’t thinking what I’m thinking:
Disgusting.
Rob Taylor,
Already I hate this guy!
