OMG!!! Borderline child/hair abuse!!!

some of the media takeout comments were scary. People were saying that its nothing because they went through the same thing... how their (grand)mother put their heads between her thighs to hold them still. Awful things people do to children. No wonder we feel the way we feel about our hair.
 
You know what now that you say that, I just thought of something.

This is a strange twist. But, what if its her boyfriend's/baby daddy's other child. Perhaps she's keeping the child for whatever reason. Maybe thats why the girl keeps asking for her father.

Also, that may explain the abuse and display of resentment toward the child.

I don't know. Could be a far stretch. Just thinking (typing) out loud.
That is honestly what I thought. Its hard for me to believe its her mother for various reasons.
I also take the "lil sis" comment lightly. We all know how we do when claiming folks as sisters, brothers, and cousins.
The pathology of resentment that this woman shows imho doesnt lead me to believe she is the mother. Its either her boyfriends child, or it may be an aunt or something. But I doubt she is the mom.

After doing a little digging I think she is the momma:ohwell:

Yeah, and she appears to have some kind of mental issues.:nono: Just listening to how she talks and acts make me think she is really crazy. I've known crazy people like that and the behavior is similar.
 
she has got to be doing that on purpose, it doesnt even make sense what shes trying to do. brushing highly textured hair all over the place trying to get rid of "knots"??? her hair is highly textured no amount of brushing will allow her to eventually glide a comb through like straight hair.

a little conditioner , water and some love is all she needs. the baby girl has beautiful hair. and its sickening to see a mother do that to a child. even worse that so many black folks have gone through the same ritual thats its now considered normal.

Im just thankful my mother had enough sense to seek education about my hair type. and i hope this family gets some education on the matter.
 
Again lots of people need therapy. Just because Big Mama did the same thing to you don't make it right. Now wonder so many of our young women grow up with complexes

Exactly. I see so many people LAUGH at the fact that they were beat with anything "Mama could get her hand on," cursed at like a grown woman (as if it's normal) getting hit with the hotcomb/comb/brush (not a tap, a serious HIT) and questioning others like "That happened to me. AND? It didn't hurt me none."

...they just don't see how it IS abusive because it's their norm. :nono: How else would a child act when pain like this is inflicted on them. Yeah, I see children acting "extra" or showing out but this certainly was warranted!

That is the number one reason I will not pay to see any black comedian. I can't laugh at child abuse, and it's a mainstay of so many routines. I refuse to continue to support normalizing the **** we do to our children in the name of 'love'.
 
Our parents/grandparents also did not have our older siblings laughing and taking videos of it either.

Well I gave my boss all the info from this thread and she called an admin at a foster family agency in detroit. Hopefully, they're able to at least check on the child.

That's good to hear!

I couldn't watch it all, she seems to have a lot of resentment towards the child. Motherhood, babysitting...heck even dog sitting isn't fit for some people.
 
I apologize for my earlier statement. I did not mean to sound insensitive about the abuse in the video. Having bad experiences with something can cloud your opinions. I still say I hope the girl does not end up in foster care but that her family learns from this.


I understand where you're coming from. I know first hand that foster care isn't all roses, but that family needs some kind of intervention. If there's no egregious neglect or abuse going on, then they won't remove the child. Hopefully, the parent will be forced to attend parenting classes though.

As a mandated reporter I legally couldn't just sit by and watch without doing anything.
 
Mediatakeout now has it up, I just wanna know what she was doing to her hair because she was just brushing it too stupid to be even trying to do anything to it.
 
I'm starting to agree with what others think about that woman potentially not being her biological mother. The little girl and the older sister could be half sisters, sharing the same father but not the same mother. The mother could have remarried since being with the older child's father, and the father could have already had a daughter. But it isn't impossible for mothers to be cruel to their own flesh and blood. Either way, she's a mother-figure and either scenario is not acceptable.
 
Oh it is all over the Internet now cause you know errrbody and dey mama is looking at it and Natrrual Nappity or whatever and Media takeout.
 
I don't know if I'm more upset at the actual abuse or the fact that there are people who see this type of behavior as normal.

She needs her *** whipped, sometimes you have to be rough when the child is moving around, sometimes you have to really get at them naps...:nono:

We really come from generations of people who masquerade abuse as tough love and being no nonsense.

It says a LOT about a culture when child abuse is anecdotal.
 
I don't know why I even clicked on the MediaTakeout link. The comments people make on there are just as ridiculous as the mother in the video!
 
I don't care if she is the mother or not.

I know I could not do that to anybody's child. No normal person can do that.

If you can see yourself doing that to any child, then you are trash.


It's scary to think that there are so many people who don't view this as child abuse.

You do not have to use that amount of force on a 30 - 40 pound child. Talking that way to a small child hurts her tremendously. That little girl probably has no self esteem and other mental issues. You don't have to PULL OUT A CHILD'S EDGES detangling her hair.

If that happened to you as a child... then you WERE abused too.

I can't believe so many people are desensitized to this. Can you not see how CRAZY it is to behave that way????????????????

That is NOT normal behavior, no matter if your mama did it to you too or not.

Thank God that the majority of us have some sense. - Some of the comments on that other site are a damned shame.
 
Hurts so much because too many of us tenderheaded and all can remember the pain and tears from momma doing the comb out or almost as bad the neglect because it hurt us so much.:sad:

Yes, i have noticed that. And some people instead of breaking this vicious cycle that hangs over their life, they either make excuses for it or take it out on other innocent people.
 
Is that really the woman in the myspace posted earlier? If so she has a friend on her list called chulo who looks somewhat like that little girl (when it comes to hair type). (could be the daddy, don't quote me). His stat is Disgusted and his last log on was today
