The mother is awful!
A Brazilian mother is suspected of child abuse because she allegedly forced his 2-year-old son to climb on the ground to learn eating dog food in the pet feeding bowl.
What's more thrilling is that she can be heard laughing at the side, thinking the incident as funny.
The mother asked the child who is bowing down in front of the bowl, "Child, you want lunch now, right?" Then the little boy walking like a dog comes out.
The mother laughed and filmed a clip, then sent to her family chat group. She said to the boy's grandmother in a cheeky tone, "I know grandmother will cook for me, but let me have some snacks first."

The grandmother was furious after watching the clip and decided later to disclose the behaviour of her daughter-in-law.
She slammed the mother doesn't even deserve to be mum and said she be arrested for child abuse.

Local authorities are now investigating the incident. One investigator said, "The grandmother was angry about the clip and she immediately rushed to their home to take the grandson home. Since the child said he felt was uncomfortable, so she came to the police station to report the case."
They added that that the boy's aunt was on the scene when his mother was taking the video. It is unclear what their intention is to film, but both said that it is very interesting.

Both the mother and aunt may face criminal prosecution. However, the boy’s mother’s defense lawyer pointed out that the boy’s parents were not "malicious", emphasizing that the boy was taken good care by her.
He also blamed the grandma judged her "out of context" in the private group and shouldn't upload the footage to the social media platform.
SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday vetoed a bill that could reduce the 27-year prison sentence of his predecessor Jair Bolsonaro for the far-right leader’s failed 2023 coup attempt.
Lula, who had already pledged to block the proposal, announced the decision during a ceremony at the presidential palace in capital Brasilia. It came on the third anniversary of the riots led by Bolsonaro's supporters that destroyed government buildings and helped build the case against the former president.
The Senate passed the bill in December. Brazil's Congress could override Lula’s veto, but analysts say that could be a risky move for lawmakers ahead of next October’s general elections. The 80-year-old leftist president is currently a front-runner in a likely battle with Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, one of the former president's sons.
“We don’t have the right of forgetting our past. That’s why we don’t accept dictatorships, civilian or military,” Lula told members of the three branches of power during the ceremony. “Jan. 8 is marked by history as the day of our democracy’s victory. It is victory against those who tried to seize power through force, ignoring popular will expressed in the polls.”
Lula narrowly won his third term against Bolsonaro, who was later ruled ineligible to run until 2030 for abuse of power during the campaign trail. In November, the former president started serving for his attempted coup conviction, extending that deadline for the 70-year-old leader until 2033. Other cases remain pending against him.
Later, Brazilian Supreme Court's Chief Justice Luiz Edson Fachin said the riots were an example of how “the democratic rule of law is in crisis in the contemporary world.” He did not mention Bolsonaro or jailed military leaders involved in the plot in his speech.
“It is necessary to resist, always within democratic boundaries, and our pathway must be our institutions. Brazil has given a great example of resilience,” Fachin said at a ceremony in the court.
The country's top court says it opened more than 1,700 lawsuits against participants of the riots, including leaders and protesters.
Lower House Speaker Hugo Motta and the president of Brazil’s Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, did not attend the ceremony. Sen. Esperidião Amin, a Bolsonaro supporter, said hours after the ceremony at the presidential palace he will seek an amnesty bill for those involved in the coup attempt, a move that Brazilian Supreme Court justices have already said would be unconstitutional.
Bolsonaro supporters also destroyed part of Congress during the 2023 riots, often compared to the storming of Capitol Hill by voters of U.S. President Donald Trump one year earlier.
If Lula had not vetoed the bill, the count of attempting a coup d’etat would be absorbed into another charge, which would then reduce Bolsonaro’s prison sentence. Other convicts linked to the coup trial could have their jail time reduced by two-thirds.
Bolsonaro’s lawyers have urged authorities to put him on house arrest due to his poor health. He has been in and out of hospitals since he was stabbed by a man found to be mentally ill during the 2018 election campaign.
Neither the former president nor his lawyers have made comments about Lula’s decision.
