public sanctioned child abuse

OK, I admit it, I spent a rainy day watching this show. I kept watching hoping I would see something positive, but alas, I saw abusive behavior aimed at children, with their parents approval and of course tacit public approval based on the fact that the show has been renewed for more than one season.

I find it especially sad that a TV channel like Lifetime, that claims to be "Television for Women" would produce a show that shows continual verbal, emotional and possibly physical abuse of young girls.

The fact that no one from any sort of Child Protect services has never investigated this woman amazes me.

The moms are worse, as they allow it to happen. Not only to they allow it, but they run back begging for more. And they have the most inappropriate conversations in front of those kids.

If anyone has children or has an interest in advocating for children they should avoid this show.
