A mother is receiving a lot of backlash after a video of her beating her daughter in what appears to be a cruel punishment surfaced online. Although the precise location has not been revealed, the disturbing video shows a mother beating a young girl inside a house.
The woman repeatedly hits her daughter in the head and face while shouting obscenities throughout the over one-minute-long video. Shockingly, the mother also threatened to kill her daughter. At one point, her daughter falls to the floor and remains there while her mother continues to hit her.
Rather than retaliating, the girl respectfully responds to her yelling mother and sits still while her mother strikes her. The mother’s rage seemingly stemmed from an incident involving a baby, widely believed to be the mother’s younger child.
Throughout the video, the woman demands that her daughter “show the baby some respect”, accusing her of scaring the child and making the baby cry. In one chilling moment, she threatens her daughter’s life, saying that if she ever scares her child like that again, she will kill her.
There is no clear indication of what exactly happened before the recording began. However, the woman insists her daughter disrespected her baby and repeats multiple times that such behaviour will not be tolerated. The incident appears to take place inside a home, with no one intervening to stop the beating.
After the video was posted online, viewers have been condemning the woman’s actions. Most viewers have been calling for intervention and showing concern for the child’s safety. While corporal punishment remains a controversial topic, many viewers argue that the mother’s actions crossed the line into outright abuse.
One viewer said, “I think an ass whipping with a belt is okay but she beat her ass like she a stranger on the street.” There are also critiques of the mother’s behaviour, with users labelling it as “child abuse” and questioning the morality of recording such an event, like “Uneducated, low-income white population!! She recorded child abuse and put it online for the world and police to see!!”
