VIOLENT children are "laughing at parents" due to changes in laws on smacking and a lack of support from social services – says a partially sighted woman from Morecambe who claims her 12-year-old daughter beats her up.
The desperate mum, who alleges her daughter threatened to kill her and battered her so severely on one occasion that she had to go to hospital, believes the Government has taken away the rights of parents to discipline their kids when they misbehave.She also claims to have pleaded with social services to take her daughter into care "for my protection and for hers" – but they refused.This is despite claims that the schoolgirl has:n Threatened to kill her mum and also threatened to kill herself in a suicide pact with her best friend.n Put her in hospital after a violent assault – this when her daughter was only seven.n Attacked her on at least five other occasions – sometimes with kicks, punches, bites, nips, scratches and by throwing objects.n Stayed out after school until 10.30pm, got into trouble and had to be escorted home by police."She will end up in front of a judge, or worse," said her mum."She's threatened to kill me and she's threatened to kill herself. Her and her best mate have threatened to run away together. They have this pact where they will take their own lives. I'm worried she will actually go through with it."Stricter laws on child discipline – making some forms of smacking illegal – came in two years ago and the woman believes this was a mistake.
