Listen to the Phoenix mum who abused her child speaks out for the first time below, or read the details under the podcast.
A shocking 2-minute video emerged recently showing a Phoenix mother repeatedly kicking and hitting her daughter, while her boyfriend recorded it and gave instructions. The video outraged the local community who demanded action from the police, or they were going to take matters into their own hands.
The mother in the video went into hiding after she was arrested and given bail. Her boyfriend asked for his bail to be revoked after a community, seemingly tired of the lack of action against child abuse in Phoenix where the incident took place, set fire to his car.
