i think its pretty irresponsible to be honest.
its technically assault on a minor.
i think your mother was foolish.
she could have got arrested.
I think you're wrong to be honest, if Majas mum had been older or had been...say like me who freaks out if I ever get touched, or had been ill, hell even if she hadn't and was younger and in perfect health, the way young people treat their elders is disgusting. That behaviour makes me...I just cant believe that anyone could ever treat another human being that way, especially their elder. Its disgusting. Beyond disgusting and they only do it because they know they will never react back. Good on her I say.
...sorry. Lecture over.
