If you were 7 years old and had a long walk to school, and you begged your mother to take you, and she said okay. You were so happy, but once you were in the car, the directions to the school changed. We were no't going to school. This mother took her child wearing a school dress to a wooded area where her screams could not be heard. The her mother cut a switch from a tree, and proceeded to beat the child. Her legs were exposed because of a dress. She had raised red bloody welts all over her legs. Then her mother took her to school and shoved her out the door. She left her. The girl was so embarrassed to go in the school with all the welts on her arms and legs. She went in though. Do you think This is a hurtful thing for a mother to do to her child?
