The horrifying images that spread on social media revealed the inhumane behavior of a mother towards her young daughter. Darlyn Pérez, a mother of three living in Marcovia, Honduras, was filmed trying to set her 3-year-old daughter on fire.

In the kitchen of their home, Pérez was seen holding a lighter over her little girl, while the child could be heard screaming "No." After slapping her crying child twice, the mother threatened, "She will stay there on her knees." The actions of Pérez, who also struck the person recording the horrifying moments, raised suspicions about her mental stability.

After the footage spread on social media, the police took action and arrested Pérez on Monday. While being taken to the police station, the mother, in tears, expressed her regret when asked by reporters. In response to the question, "Why did you do such a thing?" she replied, "I don't know, I was calm at that moment. I normally do not mistreat my daughter."

As part of the investigation, Pérez's three children - the 3-year-old victim and her two sisters aged 1 and 6 - were placed under state protection. The care of the children was handed over to the Secretary of Children, Adolescents, and Family. The mother, who was arrested on charges of severe child abuse, is undergoing legal proceedings.

The incident, which caused a significant uproar in Honduras, has increased societal awareness against child abuse and sparked discussions about the need for authorities to take stricter measures against domestic violence.
