    Love ‘unreal’ comment. How true about the reality show coming to town. I have a very hard time understanding~~~~~ how does one get so riled towards a child, not to mention your own child, you’d want to attack her with a baseball bat? Anger management classes??? I think so…

    Details that were not provided, how old is the daughter and does she live at the residence that this took place ? If I was a child and locked my mom out of the house I probably would have been in the same boat…

    Mom was probably concerned about how neighbors might view the family if they saw the girl in the swim suit – unlike the effect a crazy woman yelling and repeatedly beating on her home with a baseball bat!

    Geez! Wonder if the mom wanted to borrow the swimsuit or if she was trying to stop the daughter from wearing something inappropriate or that she didn’t approve of?

    Ok, I’m waiting for ‘the rest of the story’. Why were they doing such an absurd thing to begin with??
    Hollywood producers should sweep down on Century any day now for a new reality show —– Toddlers and Tiaras step aside…..
