Dad, 51, fined £750 after slapping teenage daughter with the back of his hand in "sad one-off family incident" amid row over Snapchat

A dad has been fined after slapping his teenage daughter in the face in a row over Snapchat.

Gary Finn struck the teenager with the back of his hand after taking her phone from her in a heated exchange at their family home in Bolton in August, a court heard. The 51-year-old, who said his daughter was his 'princess', thought she was mimicking him and posting topless pictures of him onto the social media platform.

The pair began tussling when he asked her how she would like it if he posted similar pictures of her online, the court was told. The pair then had to be split up by Finn's partner who heard the commotion from upstairs.
