That happened over thirty years ago Ruby and when it did happen I just thought she was really a mean Momma….You’re right! it would be considered child abuse today….Back in the day that term (Child Abuse) hadn’t yet been created but that is exactly what it was….
Thank God I only have Poms…
Many years ago I had a co-worker who solved a problem such as this by walking calmly to the frig where she retrieved a container of iced water and poured it over her little screaming girl who had performed just as this child did. At first I thought the mom was mean but it worked….No more like performances…

These days, Tina, that mother would probably be accused of child abuse.
