‘Cruel’ Taiwan mother panned for making daughter, 6, walk barefoot on scorching concrete

A mother in Taiwan who punished her six-year-old daughter by making her walk barefoot on a hot pavement has sparked public outrage.

On July 14, the woman in Hsinchu city, northern Taiwan, scolded her little girl for losing her shoes.

She then made the youngster walk barefoot on the scorching asphalt road for at least 20 minutes, according to the Taiwan’s Liberty Times.

The temperature that day reached 34 degrees Celsius, while the ground temperature was 20 degrees higher, according to TVBS News.

The little girl cried out while walking, saying: “Mum, it’s so hot, my feet hurt so much.”

But the woman remained indifferent, holding her daughter’s hand and forcing her to continue walking.
