   What to Know   
   Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. and his wife, La’Quetta, the city’s   
   superintendent of schools, have been indicted on child endangerment and other   
   charges for allegedly beating their teenage daughter on numerous occasions.   
   The indictment was made Tuesday by a grand jury that accused the couple of   
   child endangerment.   
   Marty Small also was charged with assault and making terroristic threats.   
   Prosecutors said both parents hit and emotionally abused the girl, who was 15   
   to 16 years old, on multiple occasions in December and January.   
   Months after allegations of child abuse against Atlantic City Mayor Marty   
   Small and his wife, La’Quetta Small, came to light, the couple was indicted   
   on a child endangerment charge.   
      
   The indictment against the 50-year-old mayor and his 47-year-old wife were   
   delivered on Sept. 17, 2024, and revealed to the public by the Atlantic County   
   Prosecutor's Office the following day.

   The charge both of the Smalls face is second-degree endangering the welfare of   
   a child, the prosecutor's office said. Mayor Small was also indicted for   
   third-degree terroristic threats, and third-degree aggravated assault.   
      
   What the Smalls are accused of doing   
   "It is alleged that during the months of December 2023 and January 2024, the   
   defendants physically and emotionally abused their 15/16-year-old-daughter on   
   multiple occasions," prosecutors wrote.   
      
   The mayor was accused of repeatedly hitting his daughter in the head with a   
   broom until she blacked out, and repeatedly punching her in the legs, court   
   documents say. Her mother was accused of dragging her by her hair, punching   
   her in the chest and face,    
   and hitting her with a belt.   
      
   The root of the conflict, according to the court document, was the Smalls'   
   disapproval of their daughter's boyfriend.   
      
   In a statement about the indictment, prosecutors laid out their case:   
      
   "During one incident, on January 13, 2024, Marty Small, Sr. is alleged to have   
   hit his daughter multiple times in the head with a broom causing her to lose   
   consciousness. Another incident on January 3, 2024, alleged that Marty Small,   
   Sr., during an    
   argument with his daughter, continuously threatened to hurt her by “earth   
   slamming” her down the stairs, grabbing her head and throwing her to the   
   ground, and smacking the weave out of her head. Another incident involved   
   Marty Small, Sr. punching his    
   daughter repeatedly in her legs causing bruising.   
      
   "It is alleged that La’Quetta Small, during one incident, punched her   
   daughter multiple times on her chest leaving bruising. Another incident   
   alleged that La’Quetta Small dragged her daughter by her hair then struck   
   her with a belt on her shoulders    
   leaving marks. Another incident alleged that La’Quetta Small punched her   
   daughter in the mouth during an argument."

   An affidavit filed in the spring by the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office   
   says the girl at one point acknowledged making up the accusations against her   
   parents because she was angry they wouldn’t let her go out with friends.   
      
   But in many other sections, the affidavit includes detailed claims by the girl   
   that the abuse was real, and it said she photographed bruises she said were   
   inflicted by her parents and sent them to her boyfriend, who shared them with   
   detectives.
