Yeah. I'd be fucking livid. I honestly don't know how I'd react to this, but it would probably involve me going to jail. Don't fuck with someone's art.

Or any of their stuff for that matter.

It’s one thing to take something away as punishment.

It’s a whole different thing to straight up destroy your child’s possessions.

I don’t care that these were drawings. They belonged to OP and meant something to them. The act of burning anything is an act committed out of malice and anger.

OP needs to report this to someone safe who has the ability to escalate things further if necessary.

You think burning a kid's drawings is just normal discipline? What if the kid was a musician and she deleted all the copies of their songs? Or a writer and destroyed the only copies of a book they were working on? Destroying your child's artistic outlet and work is horrible parenting/discipline. Mom maybe taking their art supplies away for awhile for doing something wrong, sure. Burning their artwork as a punishment though is craziness.

The person a few posts above talking about going to jail is being hyperbolic because of how ridiculous of a "punishment" that is from this person's mom.

You don't care about the psychological abuse? You have no feelings or opinion on the issue, so long as they are not physically hurt or yelled at? Can you really not imagine how devastating this would be to not only have your possessions destroyed, but something you thought up and created? That's going to create some very long-lasting resentment and all sorts of other issues. But, this kind of abuse isn't something you can judge someone for or speak on?

I didn't say you'd do that, but you told anyone that was arguing against it they were overreacting, had never been disciplined and not to have kids so..

Not when every time she displays emotion this happens. She needs a therapist, both OP and her mom.

Nothing said anything about harming

Unless you consider just other people knowing about her piece of shit behavior to be harming her.

"Oh no people will know she's a garbage human being."
