Collin claimed that his dad was a “liar” in the since-deleted post. “Yesterday he beat me up and thought nothing of it, he punched me in the face and gave me a swollen nose and I started bleeding. He then continued to kick me in the ribs after I was on the floor. He is a liar,” he wrote in the caption.

“You do not punch and kick your children. You do not kick a child. I don’t want to hear any excuses from anyone, not his father, not from local law enforcement, not from court personnel whose job is supposedly to ensure the best interests of my children,” the former TV personality told the PEOPLE in September 2020.

“There is a child abuse law, PA 23, section 8i states that doing any of the following, regardless of whether it causes injury, is child abuse, and first on that list is kicking. Period. Enough is enough.”
