Woman abuses the hell out of her child - kid says she forgives her mom. I think her hope that she'll ever have a 'normal, regular' family is probably not going to be realized. I hope she's receiving counseling toward that regard.

Despite enduring more than two years of "physical harm and psychological terror" at the hands of her mother, the child victim hopes one day she might have a "perfect family."
"She is still my mother," the now 12-year-old wrote in a victim impact statement read into court Wednesday. "My brother and I also believe a person with a normal mental state could not do what may mom did to me."
Court heard what the mother did -- starting when the girl was nine years old and ending when she was 11 -- was devastating, terrifying and at times disgusting. An agreed statement of facts detailed the girl being forced on all fours and beaten with a baking pan until her head bled, spoon-fed feces, forced to eat hair from a shower drain, beaten with a broom, a chopping board, shoes and burned with scalding water.
The mother used a nine-inch chef's knife to sever tendons in her child's foot while saying, "just one, just one, let me cut one of your toes ... It will be fun for me," court heard.
The monstrous mother then threatened to kill the child and the rest of the family, including an older brother, if the injured girl told anyone about the attack, court heard.
When their grandmother visiting from overseas heard about the horror in the household, she went to police.
