IT is a video no one should have to watch, or worse, see spread virally across the Internet — footage of a mother mercilessly beating her child, believed to be no more than five years old.

In the unfortunate video that has drawn the ire of many, the woman is captured flogging the child — whose screams of horror were too much for some to bear — with what appeared to be a belt.
This is the second video to have gone viral since the start of the year in which a parent is seen beating a child.
“Wah mi tell yuh seh? Lef outta company lef outta company. A day time mi send you go school fi do yuh work; work mi send yuh go a school fi do. Mi will kill you. Yuh hear wah mi seh? Stop play wid him,” the obviously enraged mother declared A blow followed each declaration.
Having thrown the child to the ground, the woman continues her assault, saying to the child: “Yuh naah go mek dem shoot mi...Next time a di buckle mi a use,” the woman added, while hitting the child repeatedly in her face.
Desperate for the abuse to stop, the little girl screamed: “Mi a go stop mommy; mi a go stop.”
The 10-minute long video appeared to have been recorded by the child's older sibling, who at times had to answer questions about her behaviour at school. more
