She gave her kiddo the old heave-ho — and social media is clapping in support.
Megan Morris shamelessly announced, 'I kicked my mentally ill nine-year-old out of my house because she was too hard to handle,' to over 24.6 million TikTok viewers, who, upon learning about the troubled tot's violent outbursts, are passing 'zero judgement' on the overwhelmed Oklahoma mama.
5 Megan Morris shamelessly revealed that she kicked her nine-year-old out of the house due to the kid's bad behavior.

'If she was in the backseat, and she was irritated or you said something to her that she didn't like, or sometimes it was just random,' Morris began, 'she would get behind my seat and cover my eyes while I'm driving down the road.'
The beleaguered blond confessed that she'd often have to 'fight' the tween — whom she has not publicly named — off of her while blindly operating the vehicle, recalling nightmarish incidents as 'super dangerous.'
Unfortunately, temporarily impairing her mother and threatening her own life, as well as the lives of others, wasn't the worst of the little rascal's savage stunts.
But the child isn't just a Gen Alpha brat.
Instead, she's in the alarming number of youngsters suffering from severe mental health challenges.
5 Researchers have found that an increasingly high number of tots, tweens and teens with mental health conditions were recently in desperate need of therapy, counseling and medication.

The CDC's National Center for Health Statistics recently revealed that a whopping 15% of America's children aged five to 17 received specialized care for mental health conditions in 2021.
A staggering 11.3% of children under age 11 underwent treatment, such as therapy and counseling or prescription medication, per the data. Even more shocking, 18.9% of adolescents, ages 12 to 17, with mental health issues were in need of similar aid.
Morris' daughter, now age 12, has, too, sought help for her seemingly unmanageable mischievousness.

'Over the years, she's been diagnosed with DMDD (Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder), Generalized Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, and more,' the mom lamented in a GoFundMe plea. The crowdsourcing campaign is seeking $6,000 toward in-depth brain scans for her daughter.
'She's been in therapy most of her life and has tried countless medications — literally over 100,' Morris moaned in the post, 'but nothing has brought lasting relief.'
'After one of her rages, she often collapses in my arms, sobbing and begging for help,' she added. 'She tells me she doesn't understand why she acts this way — and I believe her. She's not a bad kid. She's a hurting kid.'
But physically hurting other kids, including her brothers and sisters, was one of the main reasons Morris felt forced to give the girl the boot.
5 Morris revealed that her nine-year-old had a tendency to violently attack her younger siblings and family members.

'She would attack her siblings unprovoked,' Morris told her social media watchers in her viral vid. 'One time, she got in trouble and she flipped her three-month-old brother out of his swing [and onto] the floor.'
'She took the dog kennel — we had a little Shih Tzu named Bella,' Morris continued. 'And she took the dog kennel that this little puppy was in and threw it across her room.'
And the naughty nine-year-old's impish behavior didn't stop there.
'She threw a candle at the back of her brother's head, and he had to get stitches,' said Morris. 'She hit one of her sisters in the eye with a baseball bat.'
'I have custody of my eight-year-old niece,' the midwesterner said. 'One day, she was sleeping on the couch, and my daughter walked by and smacked her in the face with a shoe because she was in trouble.'
5 Morris challenged digital detractors, folks who shamed her for kicking out the kid, to come up with a better solution to her daughter's behavioral problems.

'I can go on and on and on about the things that my daughter did to everyone,' Morris sighed before angrily addressing the critics, who've bashed her for expelling the kid from her house.
'For those of you who are judging me and hating me for removing my daughter from my household, I want to know what you would have done in those situations,' she spat, 'because disciplining my child only made things worse.'
But, rather than give her flak, folks online caught Morris some well-deserved slack.
'Thank you for not ignoring these things and protecting everyone,' a commenter praised.
'As a social worker, you did nothing wrong,' assured a purported professional.
'If every mom did this, there would be no serial killers,' an approving audience member noted. 'Kids need help from a young age.'
'Zero judgment from me,' another cheered.
'You did the right thing for your family,' applauded an equally supportive spectator.
