Father accused of shocking child with a collar

A Caddo County father faces life in prison after being accused of hitting a three-old with a belt and shocking her with a collar.

Caddo County court records show Robert Seyler was charged Friday with child abuse by injury after a former conviction of a felony.  He has previous conviction of child abuse by injury from 2008 in Blain County.

His latest arrest happened on Thursday.  Hinton police say Seyler left for work and his wife called for help.

When officers arrived to the scene, the little girl told officers about the belt and collar.  Police say he's also accused of shaking the little girl and putting her in a deep freezer for being bad.

The mother called police despite being threatened herself.  She told officers he threatened to kill her and the child if she told anybody about the abuse while he was away at work.

Seyler is currently in the Caddo County Jail.
