A NKC woman was charged monday with beating her daughter over 100 times with a strap because she didn’t like what the girl was up to on the social networking Web site Facebook.
According to court records, a neighbor of Worthington’s heard a rhythmic beating sound coming from the apartment next door. She also heard someone say “I have sacrificed too much for you to put me through this.”
Concerned about the girl’s well-being, the neighbor went over to see what was going on.Demetria Worthington,42, let the neighbor in, then allegedly grabbed a bottle of bleach and said “she’s gotta go,” as she walked toward a back bedroom. The neighbor then called the police.
The girl was taken into protective custody, and told investigators that her mother picked her up from school and brought her to the apartment and confronted the girl about her Facebook and e-mail activities. Worthington then allegedly started beating her with the leather strap from her purse.
A doctor at North Kansas City Hospital told authorities that an examination suggested the girl had been struck more than 100 times."Now I know this is extreme,but I'd STILL like to know what the mother discovered,and what her daughter was doing on Facebook".I'm gonna guess it was also pretty extreme .
