A US soldier was accused of waterboarding his four-year-old daughter because she would not recite the alphabet.
Joshua Tabor, 27, allegedly pushed the child's head under water face-up in the kitchen sink at his house.
Tabor told a police officer 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 court documents.
The suspect said he meted out the punishment to the youngster for "refusing to say her letters."
Tabor, a soldier at the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Wash., was charged with second-degree assault of a child and was due to appear in court Feb. 16.
The suspect told police 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 report said.
