Mom says verbal abuse, fat shaming drives teen to murder her father

An Indiana teen is accused of brutally murdering her father in Michigan. The suspect's mother says fat shaming and other mental abuse may have driven the teen to kill.

Ameera Stokes, 18, is accused of killing her father by hitting him in the head with a hammer and stabbing him in the chest inside his Michigan home before calling 911 to confess.

The murder suspect's mother said she's not excusing her daughter's actions, but theorized that the murder may have taken place because the girl’s father was verbally abusive for years.

"What she did was absolutely horrific. I can’t imagine what he must have went through, but I don’t want her to get locked up for the rest of her life either," said Gretchen Brasher.

According to court records, prosecutors charged Ameera with murder and claim the killing started with a fight over "life issues."
