The six-minute clip, which depicts Ms Bartlett raining blows
on the 12-year-old girl, who whimpers in pain and cowers from the belt, has
been shared more than 43,000 online
The unsettling clip has left viewers divided, with some
people justifying the mother's actions, while others calling it child
abuse.
On Wednesday, Bartlett’s daughter and her older sister
uploaded another video in response to the controversy, expressing support for
their mother.
Looking into the camera, the two girls said Bartlett was a
good mother who wanted to protect her child from teenage pregnancy, or
worse.
When Helen Bartlett was interviewed by a local radio station
earlier this week, the woman declared she was 'prepared to go to jail' to set
her wayward young daughter on the right path
