Florida Mom Beats Daughter and Makes Her Wear Humiliating Shirt for Bad Grades
A Florida mother is in jail on child abuse charges after repeatedly hitting her daughter and making her wear an embarrassing shirt to school.
WFTS reports that 30-year-old Melany Joyce Alexander is currently in jail as a result of the incident that was brought about by her daughter's poor performance in school. The would be Tiger Mom was enraged that her daughter was failing every single one of her classes, and thought that desperate times called for desperate measures.
Alexander hit her daughter with a belt as a punishment for her poor grades. Deputies who responded to a call from the child's school said that marks could be seen on the child's arms, legs, chest, back, and neck.
Alexander was released on $2,500 bond.
To add insult to injury, Alexander made her daughter wear a t-shirt to school with a humiliating message. The shirt is what notified school authorities that something was wrong with one of their students. When they went to investigate, they discovered the welts and bruises from the beating.
The shirt read: "My name is _____ I currently have all F's in all of my classes. I am not aloud to have a boyfriend no time soon. So back off before I get another good woopin like I got last night. Also I can no longer have ANY friends until ALL of my F's are ALL brought up to C's and up!!! So unless you are helping me with this goal... BACK OFF!!! My eating french fries & being a social butterfly is over because I know why my parents send me to school. I now know the education. I will learn. I will listen to my teachers and be respectful, at all times. I will do these things because I am failing (word removed) due to my social life. Want to be my friend :) Help me by not!!!""
It is not clear if the mother forced the daughter to write the message, or if the mother wrote the message herself. If the mother wrote it, the spelling and grammar suggests she probably should have listened to the advice she tried to beat into her daughter.
