An incident involving child abuse in the town of Ceballos, located in Ciego de Ávila, has ignited widespread outrage across Cuba as it rapidly spreads on social media platforms.
The disturbing footage reveals a mother violently striking her young daughter with a stick.
The young girl, tied up in the yard, is left bleeding and terrified.
According to activist Lara Crofts, the mother has been identified online as “Elizabeth González Díaz, a resident of Ceballos, who has been described by her own neighbors as a violent and contentious individual since her teenage years.”
"What makes this atrocity even more appalling is the cold detachment of another individual who records the incident as if it were mere entertainment. Worse still, she forces her other child to pour cold water over the injured girl's head to 'clean' the blood, inflicting psychological trauma that will likely haunt him for life," the activist lamented.
"Amidst the chaos, she threatens the little girl by saying she could 'end her life.' This is not discipline; it's an unthinkable crime! No academic mistake warrants threatening or harming a child in such a manner," she added.
The activist further criticized, stating that "the authorities in Ciego de Ávila, particularly the police, seem blind to these horrors. They ignore the cries of children but act ruthlessly against dissenting voices."
"We demand that the authorities immediately locate and take action against Elizabeth González Díaz," she concluded.
As of the time of writing, the authorities have not yet made any statements regarding the incident.
