JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The first moments on the 27 minute video is of Sayidanya McCoy touring her home.
About eleven minutes into the video, McCoy goes from room to room, in her Middleburg home, showing how some of her children have cleaned up their rooms and how others have not.
According to authorities, McCoy was making the video tape as a training tape for her children and what would happen to them if they didn't clean up their rooms.
About halfway through the tape, McCoy goes into her eight and 10 year old daughters room. There are clothes and toys on the floor.
The eight year old is standing up in the room. Minutes after mom arrived, the little girl is lying on the bed being whipped with an electrical cord.
Police say there were 84 strikes in all on the girl.
First Coast News showed a portion of the beating to a panel made up of two fathers, a mother and a man who has no children.
Our panel watched about five minutes of the beating when they said they had seen enough.
"84 swats. I literally got nauseous. She just lost control," says Chad Burns, a father of an 11 year old boy.
"I wanted to go rescue that little girl," says the mother of two children.
"She's sick. Yeah, she's sick," says another father.
Police say McCoy had her son videotape the beating so the children could watch it later and learn their lesson.
"She knowingly videotaped it. She thought she was doing the right thing," says Burns.
"I was looking at a woman that had absolutely no regard for human life," says Dave Wax, who has no children. McCoy pleaded guilty to the charge of beating her two little girls more than 100 times with that electrical cord.
Prosecutors asked for the maximum of five years in jail. McCoy was sentenced to six months in jail and five years of probation. "Six months is a joke for her. That was worse than child abuse. I don't know what you call it," says Ronnie Cage, a father of two girls.
McCoy also has to go through counseling.
The Judge who sentenced McCoy says the video is horrendous, but in making his decision on the six month jail sentence, Judge Frederic Buttner says he had to take everything in consideration and not just the video.
Buttner says the mother had no other criminal problems. He says she had been in an abusive relationship herself and the children wrote letters about their relationship with their mom and want her back.
Right now, McCoy's children are in foster care. Whether or not she will get her children back is in the hands of the court system.
