See what a mother did to her own child in Benin (photos)

It's extremely wrong but I kinda understand the 'wicked step-mother' ish, but when you do it to your own child, it's more puzzling. According to a LIB reader, who sent in the report and story, the mother of this child, brutally attacked her this morning at their home in Benin because according to her, she was slow to get ready for school. 

The LIB reader, who is a neighbour to the mother and child, said she constantly maltreats her children, two girls and a boy aged 8, 6 and 5 and beats them with wire, wood, rod etc. The neighbours went to rescue this girl after hearing her shouts for help this morning. They want the children rescued from the woman. Their father is reportedly in prison. Another photo after the cut...
