China mum makes daughter crawl on knees during cold night, berates passers-by when intervened

A Shanghai mother is facing accusations of child abuse after forcing her daughter to crawl on her knees in their residential compound on the night of January 6th. The incident occurred around 9 PM, and witnesses reported that the mother berated individuals who attempted to intervene. According to a witness, the girl only stood up once she reached the compound's entrance. The mother reportedly complained about the family's financial struggles due to purchasing an apartment to improve her daughter's educational opportunities, seemingly as justification for the punishment. Images of the incident have circulated online, showing the mother arguing with a passerby while her daughter remained on her knees.
