[March 10, 2008]  ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities have arrested a mother who was videotaped spraying her young daughter with a high-pressure water hose at a Florida car wash.

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.

A nurse reported the girl had no visible injuries 11 days after the incident.

Ramirez was released from jail early Saturday on $1,000 bail. Jail records do not list an attorney.
