Is scolding your stepchild an act of domestic violence?

(Baonghean.vn) - Tran Thi G (12 years old) stated: Currently, I live with my father and stepmother. However, my stepmother does not love me and often scolds and insults me. Because my father is away on a business trip, my stepmother often beats and slaps me in the face. I wonder if this is a violation of the law and what should I do to avoid being scolded and beaten by my stepmother?

In your opinion, what laws did baby G's stepmother violate? What should baby M do to protect herself?
