Stepmother Beat 7YO Girl to Death ‘Cuz She Was Eating Too Slow; Father Didn’t Help at All

Kids need to be taught before their bad habits are set in stone. -FlabLord89, 2019

But there’s a thin line between discipline and abuse.

And the following actions we’re going to talk about goes so far beyond the line it’s completely out of bounds.

Stepmother Hits Stepdaughter With Iron Rod

This incident reportedly happened in the Shandong province, China. A woman decided to put her 7-year-old stepdaughter to the iron rod for an hour.

And the reason for this drastic decision? Because the kid ate too slowly.

The family were having lunch at home when the woman threatened to beat the girl for eating too slowly.

Shortly after, she pulled the girl into the bedroom and started hitting her with an iron rod.

Quick question, what was the dad doing then?

Dad Too Scared To Resist

There are some dads out there who will break out of their shell in order to protect their precious daughters.

Unfortunately for this seven-year-old kid, Guo Mou, her dad isn’t one of them.

The father was present at the lunch but did not interfere with what his wife was doing.

He was too scared.

He was a victim of the wife’s violent tendencies too.

Discovered Daughter In Bad Shape

Then, the father opened the door to the bedroom to see his daughter in bad shape.

The couple fought, then the father left the house for a quick smoke break to calm down.

When he returned, he pleaded with his wife to let him bring his daughter to the hospital but was rejected.

It was only when the girl was in critical condition did the father finally rushed to send the girl to the hospital.

Unfortunately, it was too late for Quo.

She was declared dead within ten minutes.

Stepmother Detained

The stepmother is detained by the police while investigations are ongoing.

But the ironic thing is, the father had divorced Guo’s mother when she was two months old.

As she grew older, he felt that she needed a mother by her side, and he decided to re-marry.

While his new wife has a track record of physically abusing others, he was shocked that the tragedy happened.

His wife often beat on his daughter for small reasons but he said it was never so serious.

Worst. Parent. Ever. And I’m not referring to the stepmother.
