Mum burns word 'wimp' on daughter's neck with cigarette

[Big VIC]

A MUM has been arrested after allegedly burning the word "wimp" into her six-year-old daughter's neck with a cigarette - because the youngster tripped and fell.

The girl told police in rural Moundsville in West Virginia, US, that Tammy Smith branded her in a fit of rage.

A teacher at the girl's school noticed the burn and took photographs of the injury before alerting police and social services.

A shocked police spokesman said: "Even the 'i' was dotted."

Smith was charged with five counts of child abuse. She faces up to five years in prison on each charge.

If this happened in the US, then it's MOM not mum.

I hate you and your silly British words.
