a lot of us have had to go through this. i hope as a community we can teach each other how to care for our hair.
I wonder if this family is even aware of what's happening. Has anyone had a response from your reports/ emails?
It's sad that some on MTO find this normal ... but hopefully this whole situation will get people talking and make this sort of thing unacceptable. But there are quite a lot of responses on MTO that show disgust. I guess the black community is quite divided when it comes to this. Pity.

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...
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.
This is totally what I expected, actually. I was worried that when people reported it to the news station either 1) black folk in charge would say "oh, this ain't nothing" or 2) white folk, not knowing anything about black folk hair, would ask black folk and they would say "oh, this ain't nothing".
But yeah, very clear why we hate our hair. My detangling sessions were bad, but not this bad. And nobody was cussing me out while they were doing it, either. But still, mine were pretty bad. That's just what many black folk consider normal.

Most people will see that this goes WAY beyond a rough detangling session.
My mother didn't play either and I have gotten popped in the head a few times myself... but NOTHING like this. It was a zoo, they really were rolling on the floor behaving like animals.
White or black, whatever kind of hair you have... a normal person knows a line was crossed. That woman was literally ripping that child's hair out of her scalp
There is no way to truly justify things in these vids...
Even though there are people who say this is ok. I want to know if they would like to have their hair done that way and be spoken to that way.

I guess this video is much worse than another I have seen on YT. Some get this woman a link to this site before someone calls social services!

I work with kids and this is the worst thing that I've ever seen.. that woman doesn't need any kids if she's going to pull their hair out

Since we are starting to speculate her not being the mom. A thought crossed my mind. What if the little girl is in foster care with this family ? Maybe this is already a foster home for her. Maybe that is her real baby. Either way I am so glad this is getting some kind of coverage and I hope something comes of this. Shoot that lil girl can come stay with me. Atleast she wouldn't have to get ridiculed and have her hair ripped out and just plain tormented.

I hate that one of my first posts is in a topic like this but seeing this poor girl getting her hair pulled out was really saddening. I found myself nodding in agreement with some of the replies, the caretaker of that poor girl was laughing and smiling while her daughter was writhing in pain. We were all there at somepoint in our lives whether with your own children or your own hair but even a blind person would know that if a child in rolling around, screaming in pain then what they're doing is the wrong technique. Even as a lurker I was happy to report this mess!!

Reviewing all the material and dialogue, I believe this is her mom (that is excluding the possibility of her being a foster child). The girl with the camera and the girl being abused are more than likely related through the woman with the brush.
The girl with the camera, Temperance, refers to the woman with the brush, Tiffany, as "mom" several times on Myspace. The abused girl, Autumn, has a non-black father imo. If you see the pictures of Temperance, you'll know her father was black. Actually, Temp and Tiffany look nothing alike. According to their Myspace profiles, Tiffany is 32 and her daughter Temp is 17, meaning she was pregnant at 15. I think it's safe to say that the chances of Temp's father sticking around in such a situation, under such circumstances and the environment (Detroit), are slim...
I'm only thinking out loud...

Maybe he saw the videos.
Mediatakeout is pretty popular. If he did see the videos I hope he ripped that woman a new one for treating that child like that (if he is the father).

I wonder how Temperance feels now about uploading those videos? Mama must be so mad at her, she's probably tearing HER butt up with the brush!
I seriously hope this gets more attention. Bet she didn't expect it to negatively blow up like THIS!

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.
One of many reasons why I can't even watch it, I remember in vivid detail some of those sessions when I was a girl baby.

I dont get it either. Tear thru it with a brush, then tease it, then repeat 3 more times. Oh man..........

That little girl is really tendered headed and it looks like she do not like getting her hair comb but..........neither I would , if my mother was heavy handed like that. My cousin was very tendered headed when she was a child and soon as you touch her hair with a comb she wont scream at the top of her lungs like somebody was doing something to her. That is her daughter the little girl looks like her to me just a lighter version. She did not have to be so rough on that baby, and on top of that she verbally abusing her. Sad

I just want to run upstairs and wake my sleeping children and just hug and kiss them.
I just washed and put 2 cornrows in my 3 yr olds hair yesterday and she went and seriously messed it up. So today I took those down and put 12 cornrows in and I made sure I was a gentle as possible. You know when you put in cornrows the pulling can hurt,. I even went so far as to finger comb each section a little at a time so that I wouldnt hurt her.
I just cant see myself PURPOSELY hurting my child like that.
That woman simply doesnt love that baby. Strait up.

but i don't even get what's she trying to do? she just keeps pulling the brush through over and over... i don't get it.
if you're 5 year old baby is telling you "i hate you", then there is something wrong with what you're doing. i never thought to tell ANYONE that i hate them at that age, especially not my mom.

She IS a baby and her hair for all intents and purposes just needed a little moisture and there you go. Again I heard people at work who saw it today and were like WELL that is what my Mama did to me and IIIII turned out okay.
I am like in my head I have worked with your for over 20 years and you actually BELIEVE that ish. Cause she is one of the most self-hatenest colour struck black woman I have EVER encountered.
My mama did it to me
BUT I turned out fine.

Watched the video, almost cried and now I am so pissed! I wish I could jump into the screen, take the child away from that devil's hands and give her a taste of her own medicine! SHe was doing it on purpose and enjoying it, too! There's no reason for her to pull on the child's hair over and over again! If her purpose was simply to "detangle" her hair then she just made it worse.
Why, oh, why do people like that have children while other women pray to God and cry over their childless wombs?!?!? WHY!?!? I feel like pulling the weave on her head with braids and all!
When I comb my niece's hair, I make sure it is moisturized and I am so gentle she will sit still without complaining for such a long time that even her mom/my sister is surprised! I apologize to her whenever she says "ouch"!!
That's beyond child abuse! This is sadistic torture!

See life is weird.. i try not to judge people but sometimes I see women complaining about not being able to have kids and when I see sl...ts like that and how they take care of their children it makes me wonder....WHY!!??
Instead of doing hip rolls on you tube she should try to do some reasearch online about hair care for natural hair. Dum*y Shlumpy!
