As long as the mom thinks she did nothing wrong, there is no reason for counselling. Save it for someone who wants to use the help. She did it to her own kid. Children’s Services has no problem with that. Your own parents can psychologically abuse and mentally torture you And rarely face consequences. But the same behaviour from another child or adult would pit neighbour against neighbour in court.

How disgusting. This mother needs to be punished for not teaching her daughter when she was young what the family rules and priorities are and what the girls responsibilities are and how they increase as she gets older. Shave the mother’s head so world-wide we can all see where the problem is. This mother should forever be ashamed of her behavior and take some parenting classes. Come to think of it….. this mother needs to get some psychological help. Perhaps give the daughter to another family who has capability to teach her as a child would expect to be taught. Don’t think for a minute that she will ever forget this. Beating her would have been less psychologically harmful.
