ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a mother who was videotaped spraying her young daughter with a high-pressure water hose at a Florida carwash.

Deputies arrested Niurka Ramirez in Orlando on Friday on a child-abuse charge.

Ramirez says she was trying to discipline her 2-year-old daughter for throwing a temper tantrum.

She told authorities she did not use the high-pressure feature on the hose when spraying the child.
