Dad arrested for putting 13-year-old daughter in stranglehold; girl now in "custody of another parent" (Meridian, Idaho)

Well, it seems dad ADAM CHRISTOPER SIMONDS likes to play rough with teenage girls. His daughter is now in the "custody of another parent." Um, is that the politically correct way we say "mother" these days? Was this a custody/visitation situation? Why is this left (intentionally?) vague?

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT

A 36-year-old father was arrested Sunday night after police were called to a Meridian residence to investigate a possible case of child abuse.

Adam Christopher Simonds was booked into the Ada County Jail on a charge of felony injury to a child.

Simonds was arrested after investigators found evidence that Simonds had put his 13-year-old daughter into a stranglehold, according to Meridian Police Deputy Chief Tracy Basterrechea. The girl's injuries did not require hospitalization Basterrechea said.

The child is now in the custody of another parent, Basterrechea said.

Simonds is set to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Monday at the Ada County Courthouse.
