This is the harrowing moment children screamed “daddy please stop” as their politician father allegedly beat his wife after she caught him cheating.
The disturbing audio has been released by police just weeks before Chris Corley is due in court in South Carolina on domestic violence charges.
The 36-year-old Republican – who once campaigned in favour of the Confederate flag – is said to have threatened to kill himself after hitting his wife.
On a recording of the call, his children and alleged victim can be heard screaming: "Please stop it. Just stop. Just stop. ... Dad, please stop

The tape continues: “Please stop. Stop. Please stop, Chris. Just stop daddy, just stop. Chris, please stop. Daddy. Please help. Please Chris. Chris."
Police said Corley hit his 37-year-old wife and pointed a handgun at the victim “causing her to fear for her life”.
His wife and children fled the scene and ran to a family friend’s house across the road.

She said he only stopped the alleged attack when he heard his children screaming and noticed blood coming from her head, according to the report.
But Corley claimed his wife had attempted to hit him in the face and he pushed her away.
He also said that during the push, he was scratched on the forehead.
Corley is due in court on February 10 on charges of first-degree domestic violence as well as pointing and presenting weapons at a person.
