A U.S. soldier has been accused of "waterboarding" his four-year-old daughter because she would not recite her ABCs.

Joshua Tabor, 27, of Yelm, Wash., allegedly beat the child before holding her head under water Sunday night in the family's kitchen sink, The News Tribune reported.

Tabor reportedly told a police officer that he and his girlfriend "held her down on the counter and submerged her head into the water three or four times until the water came around her forehead and jawline," according to the newspaper.

The suspect said he punished the girl for "refusing to say her letters."

Tabor, a soldier at the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Wash., has been charged with second-degree assault of a child and is set to appear in court Feb. 16.

The suspect reportedly told police that his daughter was afraid of water "and was squirming around trying to get away from the water."

"Joshua did not act as though he felt there was anything wrong with this form of punishment," the police report said.

Tabor's girlfriend also told authorities that the girl had “severe bruising on her entire back" and had locked herself in a closet to hide from her father, the newspaper reported.

Its not torture so I think we need to leave it up to the father to determine how to discipline his daughter and not get involved.

If the water was running and she was on her back it's waterboarding.

This guy shouldn't be around kids and probably shouldn't be in the service.

I thought waterboarding was the humane method of torture?

The bruises on the back makes it sound like she was held under running water.

Yay for trying to scare your kids into being smart.

How about they actually work at teaching her her letters?

And as bad as the guy comes off, notice how the GF helped him hold her under. Yeah, wonderful example of human beings, there.

Yep. Waterboarding=simulated drowning. It gets it name from the medieval practice of dunking, when a suspected witch - or whatever - was tied to a see-saaw like board and constantly dunked under water until confessing to whatever they wanted her to confess to.
