“I can’t believe you’re my dad,” she told him while he sat in silence wearing a grey prison jumpsuit. “How could you call yourself a father.”

“You tried to kill me.”

A girl, whose identity remains undisclosed for privacy reasons, revealed she experienced mistreatment from her parents and tried to escape on the day of an assault in October, as reported by KING-TV.

The incident, which took place outside of a Washington high school, occurred right in front of a bus camera.

“My dad tried to kill me with his own hands,” she said, fighting back tears.

The young girl expressed fears that her parents intended to take her abroad to Iraq for a marriage, according to the Fox affiliate KCPQ.

She was 17 years old at the time of the attack.

Her father, 44, punched her boyfriend, and then turned on her, according to the outlet.

During the incident, bystanders, including students, attempted to intervene in the confrontation. Reports indicated that Ali placed his daughter in a headlock, causing her to lose consciousness.

“You were smiling when you choked me,” she said.

“I’m going to pray for you to stay in jail and die.”

Ali was convicted of assaulting his daughter and her boyfriend, but was acquitted on an attempted murder charge.

He also was also convicted of unlawful imprisonment, according to KING-TV.

Her mother, Zahraa Ali, 41, was also acquitted on an attempted murder charge, but convicted of violating a protective order.

She was at the scene at the time of the crime.

“My mom saw me almost pass away right in front of her own eyes and didn’t help me at all,” she said.

“Didn’t even try to be there for me.”

The dad is also not allowed to contact his daughter for 10 years.

“You wouldn’t release her, you wouldn’t allow her to breathe, because no one else was managing the situation,” remarked Judge Christine Schaller during the intense sentencing.

“You were going to maintain control.”
