Mum filmed lifting daughter by hair and kicking her has child taken away

A mum who was filmed lifting her daughter by the hair and kicking her has had her child taken away.

The unknown Argentinian woman picked her three-year-old daughter up by the hair and proceeded to kick her because she had lost her tablet. The mum blamed her daughter for the loss. Local news source, TN, reports that the woman shouted:

"Give me the tablet. Why can’t you remember where you leave things? If anyone else gets hold of it, I’ll kill you."

They also shared a clip of the attack which can be viewed here  (some viewers may find the footage distressing). The woman has since had her daughter and two other children taken away. Local authorities confirmed that they are now in the care of a relative. The mum is being investigated by a family court on suspicion of assault and threats to a minor. Authorities said that the woman's own mother alerted them to the attack.

"A 54-year-old woman alerted officials to a video taken on a mobile phone in which her 33-year-old daughter can be seen mistreating her two children aged one and three."
