Penny's mother is beating the hell out of her and the little girl is STILL taking up for her (NO, she never beat me). I guess she was scared

Penny was scared s***less at the thought of coming forward. Her mama would have killed her. Good or bad, Penny loved her mama and cared about what happened to her.

Until her mother abandoned her for a year and tried to discredit Willona to get her back.

domestic violence, child abuse it has the same thing in common: fear.
when one puts the fear in you, you feel that if you say anything something worse could happen to you by the person abusing you. Besides, it also has another thing in common, the fact that the abused no matter what, loves the person. they feel that if they do things right, somehow the abuse will stop. we know it won't, but in that situation you think it will. you hope it will.

I would have been nice for Penny's mother to return in anyway to gain custody of Penny.

She did, in the episode "A Matter Of Mothers" in season 6.

I thought that was an excellent episode.

And when she returned she still showed she was not ready to be a mother

And how funny is that her, of all people, would strike it rich. And no, she wasn't ready to be a mom.
