Her mother has been accused of child abuse after she was spotted kicking Niu Niu in public.

I'll kick you to death, do you believe it? pick up the flower right now, don't piss me off during shooting.

All of the online stores associated with Niu Niu pulled
the photos and videos from their sites after the video surfaced. 110
online stores signed a petition to advocate for child model welfare.

regulations and no law to enforce.

in which she claimed that she had not intended to hurt her daughter and
she kicked the three-year-old because she was running too close to the
road. (It's an outdoor studio, there's no road.) She believes the
footage is taken by other showbiz parents, who are jealous of Niu Niu's
success.
She said: "No parent could claim that they have never
beaten their child. I rarely beat my child normally." She claimed that
Niu Niu did not sustain any injuries from being kicked, therefore she
didn't cry.

me. Shake your bum. Swirl," and Niu Niu immediately switches her facial
expression to work mode.

forced to go along to lots of jobs by her mom, "they are usually
required to complete one shoot within four minutes, or 15 shoots in an
hour."
Another photographer said
Niu Niu, who worked from 9am to 6pm got punched on the back because she
was tired and couldn't keep her back straight. Another photographers
Niu Niu's case is very common in the industry.
"There are a lot of pushy moms like this, some even
restraint sleeping hours to stop them from growing too tall. They can't
be a child model anymore if they're taller than 130cm."
