Just for making a mess on the floor
Miami-Dade mother accused of striking, choking teen daughter over ‘cleaning a mess’
Miami-Dade mother accused of striking, choking teen daughter over ‘cleaning a mess’
I agree and choose number 5I never really acknowledged much less understood such increasingly abhorrent behavior before but as of late but could this phenomenon be
1. Narcotics and or alcohol abuse
2. Mental instability
3. Uncontrollable violent tendencies
4. Self hate
5. All of the above
I well know historically my choices are out of date but I personally feel it's time to commit the violators to intensive counseling before release and post release restrictive monitoring.
I am not an expert on State and Federal Corrections law but this is the best idea I have to offer. Take care.
I don't even know how you survived @hollydolly. At what age were you able to get away if I may ask?This happened to me on an almost daily basis, from mostly my father.. but occasionally my mother... for the smallest reasons...
for example... when I was 13 I came home full of excitement that I;d achieved a long jump in school sports, of 13 feet.... I was called a liar, by my mother, and she screamed that even the professional athletes didn't jump that same length 9 later I learned she was grossly mistaken) .... and I was beaten to the floor with a Broom handle... , and she knelt on my chest slapping and punching.. ...I had done nothing but tell my long jump achievement
... another time.. i was 15.. and stood ironing, didn't get out of the way of one of my siblings fast enough for my father's satsfaction, so he jumped out of his chair, beat me to the ground , kicking, punching, I fell to the floor over and over, he kept dragging me up, and kicking me in my lower back and utlimately, broke my coccyx.. and STILL tried to make me stand up.... even tho' I couldn't stand.. and didn't stop beating me util my mother eventually stepped in...
...but there was almost daily beatings in my childhood, and starvation... at times..... ...there was no childline for help in those days
Neither of my parents took drugs or alcohol..nor were they mentally challenged... just vicious....
I was 16 when I ran away the first time.... then i had to go back because my mother was ill.. then I got away again at 17.. then had to come back when I was 18 and a half.. and my mother died one month later.. so I had to stay to look after my younger sibblings.. one was only 10 years old..I don't even know how you survived @hollydolly.

yes I've thought this many times... ..How you survived and came out as stable as you seem, is beyond me. It's a wonder they hadn't accidently killed you.

I got the belt many times.. ..I can't tell you how often... he was very handy at whipping off his belt and whacking me with the buckle end...I feel so sad for any child to have to endure physical beatings. I got whipped with belts and hit with switches as a child but never to the point I felt like it was a beating. Nowadays parents couldn't do what my parents even did, or they'd have the Child Protection Agency after them and possibly had us taken away.

Not that nearly killing your child is excusable, right? Obviously, mom has some sort of issue, but while issues may explain dangerous criminal behavior, they don't excuse it.What we don't know, and what hasn't been made clear in the article is whether this was a one-off, or whether there have been previous instances of the teenage daughter leaving a mess on the floor for her mother to clear up. So do we know whether the mother was provoked into her actions, or whether she just snapped for no reason?
I hear you. Mommy Dearest used sit the oak rocking chair and laugh while deciding which would cause the most pain...the belt or her wood paddle with the holes. She claimed the holes would hurt most. The neighbors knew what she was doing and would make comments to me but nothing to anyone who could help.I got the belt many times.. ..I can't tell you how often... he was very handy at whipping off his belt and whacking me with the buckle end...
First time I remember getting a real beating..I was 4 years old... I'd got gum from somewhere ( we weren't allowed bubblegum) and I was chewing it at breakfast time.. he went berserk... swung me round by my hair.....
On reflection I think probably he'd hit me before then, but it was my first memory of a beating...
Good Lord So sorryThis happened to me on an almost daily basis, from mostly my father.. but occasionally my mother... for the smallest reasons...

I did the same I readily admit. I was 17 going on 18.. and I was standing looking out of the window just musing.. and suddenly she attacked me... it was such a shock.. that I retaliated for the first time ever ( and only time)... and I grabbed her and pushed her hard off me and she fell back onto the sofa... as you say... I never forgot the look of shock on her face that told me she realised she could no longer beat me without retaliation...I hear you. Mommy Dearest used sit the oak rocking chair and laugh while deciding which would cause the most pain...the belt or her wood paddle with the holes. She claimed the holes would hurt most. The neighbors knew what she was doing and would make comments to me but nothing to anyone who could help.
I will never forget when I was a teenager, she flipped out on me once too often and tried to hit her back, my step father protected her but oh the joy seeing the shock and fear in her face and I knew her as the loser she was.
Oh bless you, I'm sorry I caused you tears... but thank you very much ....@hollydolly
Hate to admit it, but reading the details of your tragedy made me shed some tears. God bless you and may every one of your days be filled with joy and peace.
