On Jan. 16, Danielson and daughter Abraham, 18, got in a violent argument over "child care issues as well as other problems" in the kitchen of the Council Bluffs, Iowa home they share. In front of Abraham's infant daughter Sophia, Danielson allegedly grabbed Abraham by the throat and "hit her along the side of her head and hit her in the mouth," according to a police report.

Police observed cuts near Abraham's mouth.
