(The Lion) — A St. Louis-area man is facing charges of harassment and fourth-degree assault after he apparently boarded his daughter’s school bus and instructed the 6-year-old to beat up another girl who had been bothering her.

“I want her crying,” Maurice Fox, of Ferguson, Missouri, says in the video, as he urges his daughter to “do what I told you to do,” and to do it “again.”

Fox, who reportedly has a lengthy criminal history, allegedly forced his way onto the bus and confronted the other girl, before instructing his daughter to hit her.

“Don’t put your hands on my daughter no more. You hear me, little girl?” he said before ordering the beatdown.
