The most recent display of Mai TT antics took over social media last week and made headlines in our newspapers, as the Queen of Chaos was once again at the center of national discourse.
Her brazen choice to post a video in which she seemed to imply that her teenage daughter Fifi’s naked photos floating around the internet was not at all shameful caused her to face a great deal of backlash.
Her most recent humiliation was brutally covered by one publication in particular, and it generated a lot of discussion online.
Since then, she has come to her senses and responded in the manner that was initially anticipated of her.
“The way you are shocked is the same way I’m shocked because my daughter is the most quiet, intelligent, individual,” she said.
“When I counted my blessings, I count her as well. Never have I ever held a stick to flog her because there was nothing to flog her for.
“She was the best God gave me because everything about her is just perfect.
“There is just a young lady who was in a relationship and trusted her boyfriend, and after breaking up, the guy leaked the pictures.
“I got to find out that she was under threats the whole of last year but never told me about it. She would pay this guy not to release until she couldn’t afford anymore.”
The problem with Mai TT is that she appears to live in a world of fantasy, where everything is a game, and is part of her social media circus, and this has now clouded her judgment to such an extent she did not initially see the shame of having her teenage daughter being naked on social media.
There is no question that her wild behaviour, which she now takes as normal, is now having a profound effect on her children.
The kids clearly now need protection from her madness and, maybe one could ask — can a case be made now where the Department of Social Welfare could put Mai TT’s kids under protective foster care?
Why?
Let’s look at the template, which is provided by the fosterva.org website, and explore why Mai TT’s kids probably deserve protection away from growing up in their mother’s home:
l ABUSE
“Physical abuse, psychological abuse, and sexual abuse are significant reasons for a child to be removed from their family home. Psychological abuse, also known as emotional abuse or verbal abuse, is the most common form of child abuse. It often entails rejection, hostility, bullying, criticism, and exposure to family violence. There are grounds to place a child in foster care if they are repeatedly made to feel worthless, unloved, alone, or frightened by their caregiver. Sexual abuse involves the engagement of sexual acts with a child. It also includes exposing children to sexual materials and sexual behaviour.”
***
l NEGLECT
“A child may be removed from their biological family house by social services and enter the foster care system if their caregiver cannot take measures to look after the child’s health and well-being.”
***
l ADDICTION
“A parent struggling with an addiction (including social media) can significantly impact their ability to take care of their children. It can lead to a greater risk of neglect and abuse. A child may be placed in a foster home.”
***
l WHAT DO THESE CHILDREN NEED?
“These children enter a foster care system designed to help both the parents and the children get their lives back on track. The foster care system is far from perfect, but it responds to all the situations detailed above.”
It appears Mai TT’s wild nature ticks all these boxes.
