Police: Mom beat, choked girl over incorrect Bible verses

A woman severely beat her daughter, tried to strangle her and kicked her out of their house for incorrectly reciting Bible verses, police say.

Rhonda Kemp Shoffner's daughter, who is under the age of 13, was forced to kneel on the bathroom floor at their Middletown home and repeat Bible verses, police told Pennlive.com. The girl told police her mother had been drunk for three days.

No other words. I had a teacher many years ago who, every time a child abuse story came up, would say "Some people don't deserve to be parents." So true.
