Looks like her dad was arrested for child abuse last week.

Quote:
Jessi was arguing with her father when he "punched her, causing her to have a bloody and swollen lip." When the police officer arrived, he saw "blood on the victim's mouth and chin area."
Bonnie Dean, who lives near the Leonhardt residence in Dunnellon, told investigators that she was walking her dog when she heard “adults yelling and screaming.” She said that Jessica then ran up to her and she noticed that the girl “had a bloody mouth and that her lip was running blood and her face was swollen.”
Dean also recalled that the child said, “They’re hurting me,” and ran off when her father approached. Deputy Michael Turner reported that Leonhardt “smelled of alcohol and appeared slightly intoxicated.”
In addition to redacting Jessica’s name from the incident report, sheriff’s officials also appear to have removed references to the girl’s mother Dianne.
Leonhardt has pleaded not guilty to the child abuse charge and is free on $5000 bond. His next Circuit Court appearance is scheduled for July 14, 2011.
