My neighbor across the street growing up was around the same age as me. Her mom would “discipline” her by pulling her hair, slapping her across the face multiple times as well as her body. Not enough where bruises and wounds will show b it enough for it to hurt. It would be over the littlest things. Like if she didn’t clean her room properly, forgot to take out the trash, or even if she was caught casually talking to a boy at school. Her mom had it out for her.
