Man Accuses Ex of Attacking Him and Stealing From Daughter’s Piggy Bank, Says Their Child Was Put in Danger During Heated Fight

ATLANTA, Georgia — A disturbing domestic dispute is going viral after a man publicly accused his child’s mother of attacking him while he was driving with their daughter in the car — claiming she also stole money from the child’s piggy bank and from funds meant for her future.

The incident, which the father Rico Cashe shared online, shows him emotionally explaining the situation while recording from his vehicle. His post included a statement accusing the woman, identified as Olaysha Tate, of theft and repeated aggression during and after the drive.

Father Says He Tried to Protect His Daughter From “Toxic” Situation

Cashe wrote in his post that he didn’t originally plan to share the video but wanted to shed light on how vulnerable his daughter had been during the altercation.

“I didn’t wanna post this cause I don’t want people seeing how vulnerable my daughter was,” he wrote. “But this is the ‘victim’ Olaysha Tate tries to pretend to be.”

He went on to accuse Tate of repeatedly stealing from both him and their child’s savings, including income tax money he said was meant to be deposited into their daughter’s bank account for her future.

“She’s constantly stole my money, money out of our daughter’s piggy bank that I put money in, not her,” Cashe wrote. “I’m just tryna give my daughter everything and have her future set up while the ‘Momma’ wants to steal it all.”

According to his account, the confrontation escalated when he confronted Tate about the alleged theft, leading to her physically attacking him in front of their child while he was behind the wheel.

“You Don’t Care About Your Daughter’s Life” — Man Says Argument Became Dangerous

In the shared clip, Cashe appears visibly shaken as he describes the altercation, claiming Tate’s behavior put their young daughter at risk.

“You don’t care about your daughter’s life,” he can be heard saying in frustration, suggesting that the incident turned physical while their child sat nearby.

The video and his accompanying statement show a mix of emotional anger and despair as Cashe describes his financial and personal struggles tied to the relationship.

He wrote that he had worked for years to build stability after previous hardships, only to have it jeopardized again.

“I’ve lost everything due to the ‘mother’ of my child,” Cashe added. “It breaks my heart that my daughter says, ‘My daddy don’t got a house no more.’ It took me two years of trying to get somebody to rent to me from being a felon.”

Public Reaction: Divided Sympathy and Concern

The viral post sparked intense debate across social media, with viewers expressing mixed reactions. Some sympathized with Cashe, commending him for speaking out about what he described as financial and emotional abuse. Others urged caution about airing family disputes online, especially when a child is involved.

“This is heartbreaking. No child should be in the middle of that kind of fight,” one commenter wrote.

Another added, “If she’s stealing from her daughter, that’s not just toxic — that’s cruel.”

However, a few social media users cautioned that such conflicts are often complex, urging both parents to seek legal help and family counseling rather than resolving issues in public.

“Social media isn’t the place for this,” a user commented. “This needs to be handled in court, not online.”

Domestic Disputes and Social Media Exposure

Experts warn that posting intimate or emotionally charged videos online can sometimes complicate ongoing domestic or custody disputes. Once made public, such content may impact future legal proceedings or affect perceptions in family court.

Still, Cashe’s post struck a chord with many who have experienced similar dynamics. His frustration — centered around trying to secure a stable future for his daughter while battling trust issues with her mother — resonated with parents navigating shared custody under tension.

Authorities Urge Safe Reporting in Family Conflicts

While there is no official police report publicly confirmed in this case, family advocates remind individuals facing threats, theft, or violence in domestic settings to document incidents privately and seek help through legal channels or domestic support organizations rather than relying solely on social media.

Cases involving children witnessing parental violence can have lasting emotional effects, making intervention and mediation critical. Experts note that both parents’ wellbeing plays a key role in maintaining a safe environment for the child.

“Children internalize what they see,” said one family therapist. “Even if the fight isn’t directed at them, it teaches them fear and instability — something that can carry into adulthood if not addressed.”

Ongoing Online Discussion

As of this week, Cashe’s post continues to circulate on multiple platforms, with supporters offering messages of encouragement and donations to help him secure stable housing again. Tate has not publicly responded to the allegations.

The story has become another example of how personal family conflicts can quickly turn into viral moments, drawing both empathy and scrutiny from the public.
