Police have arrested a Lincoln woman they say beat her 14-year-old daughter after the girl tried to take her mother’s alcohol.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the 31-year-old woman faces a child abuse charge.

Police say the girl returned home after school on Monday to find her mother drinking and tried to take the alcohol. Officers say the mother hit her daughter 30 times in the face, neck and chest. Arresting officers say the woman’s blood alcohol level was more than three times the legal driving limit of .08.

The woman’s daughter and a 6-year-old child were taken into temporary protective custody.

Court documents say the mother has a history of alcoholism and leaving her children with others and not returning to pick them up.
