In a public apology, the abuser weeps and says he loves his daughters. “Nothing will justify what I did, I was wrong, but I want to tell you that I am not a monster. Those people who talk about me do not know the love I have for my daughters,” he said.
“At the same time, the anger passed and I apologized. I hit my children, but it was with the intention of educating. (…) I could have spoken, it could have been otherwise. I did it in the worst way and I was wrong for love, because I thought my daughter was dead,” he added.

“As strong as those images are, my daughters are here, they don’t have a bruise, they don’t have a mark. I’ve acknowledged my mistake of hitting too much, but I ask, for God’s sake, that they have mercy. I’m a father, I love my family, I love my daughters. Everyone looks at me like a monster, like an animal, like the worst misery that exists on Earth,” he said.
In the depositions, the man claims to be a fugitive. He and his family live in the city of Feira de Santana (BA) and were in the capital to celebrate the New Year. Now, the case will be conducted by the Guardianship Council and the Civil Police.
