HORRIFIC VIDEO: You won't believe what this 'Monster Mom' does to her baby

New Delhi: A video of a woman brutally thrashing a child has left the social media in a state of shock. The woman in the 4-minute-long video is seen mercilessly beating a profusely crying baby. The video was uploaded by a Facebook user and soon went viral. It was shared more than10,000 times and soon become a topic of intense discussion. The incident dates back to May 2011 and the woman in the video is a 18-year-old unmarried mother. The clip was filmed in Petaling Jaya, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur in May 2011. The mother was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Thought to be filmed on a mobile phone, the mother, who is unmarried, is seen sitting on a bed, while the baby is on the corner of the mattress, crying hysterically as she lies face down. The woman hits the child over the head repeatedly with a cushion and at one point throws her mobile phone at the screaming baby. As the wailing intensifies the woman pinches her arms and thighs and kicks her - the helpless baby just lays on the mattress, unable to fend off the blows. When the distraught baby lifts her head up, she flops forward again, dazed from being repeatedly hit on the head. The baby was put into the care of a foster family after her mother's arrest and was doing 'very well'.
