My mother is friends with a mom at her chuch. The mom moved to the area a few months ago, and she is so nice. She has 6 kids and they are all very young. In public she is very nice to her kids, but at her home, she is I guess you could call it abusive. I know this because my mother said that she changes behind closed doors and is very tough on her kids. My mother told me how she wittenesed the 10 yr old dd run outside in a hurry and knocked her mother lightly with the door and in turn place her dd's head between the frame and door and repeatedly slam it shut saying "now you know how it feels!" According to my mother she does this kind of stuff alot, but also cuddles her kids ,and feeds and clothes them. I asked my mother if she was going to say or do anything, and she said no, that social services has checked her out many times from call from the neighbors about her children running around naked in the steets (on a back road, but with cars). My mother also said that the woman is really a good mother that is very strong with her disipline, but is a loving parent, and gives her children a good home. I talked about calling SS, since they have no record of the abuse, but my mother said she would be very mad at me if I called.
I don't know what to do. Should I do nothing?
My mother may sound like a jerk, for doing nothing herself, but I don't think she understands that there is something wrong and she was abused her whold childhood. I wont go into more details on my mother, but that she is not always aware of things mentally. Still I love my mother.
