A 23-year-old YouTuber is being "investigated" after she drew ire from fans and social media for allegedly beating her two-year-old daughter over a ruined make-up palette, the Metro reports.

In the video, Michelle Grace can be seen telling her 1.1k YouTube subscribers, "My two-year-old just got her a*s beat," as the sobbing toddler can be heard in the background.

In the clip, Grace explains her reaction, stating:

"Because no matter how many times I tell her not to mess with my makeup, she never f**king listens. I put it away so that she can’t find it. And what does she do? She finds it. At this point I need a freaking safe with a combination on it to keep her out of it. She has ruined two palettes of mine, and one of them is being discontinued. "

Grace continued:

"My hand hurts because I just beat the crap out of her. Not literally, but I taught her a lesson. I know a lot of parents won’t agree with me but I don’t spank my child, unless I have to. Usually, it’s just a pop and it barely hurts, she cries for like five seconds."

However, due to the hostile reaction to the revelation, it has since been revealed that Grace is under investigation - though details remain scarce. As she herself explained, the ongoing situation means that she can’t say much more, other than that it is "happening".

After receiving a backlash across social media, Grace penned a lengthy Twitter statement to her fans and the public. As she put it:

"What I did should have never been done. I acted out of emotions and had a lapse in judgement. That being said, I’m truly sorry if it all came off the wrong way. It was poor choice of words and I admit that.

"I should not have made it seem like materialistic things were more important than her because trust me, they’re not. I realise now where I went wrong. I love her more than everything and everyone. I always have."

"I’m a young mum and I’m far from perfect. But I am a good mum. My video and my clouded feelings didn’t show that at all and I truly am sorry. I’m still learning to go this whole parenting thing. It’s not easy. I don’t think it ever will be easy. I hope one day you all will be able to see the good in me."

Grace continued:

"Yes I popped / spanked her. But not hard. It hurt her feelings but not her. When she doesn’t listen to what I tell her, I feel like a failure as a mum. Talking calmly and taking things away for short periods of time sometimes doesn’t work with her.

"I don’t expect anyone to ever be okay with what I did. I’m not even okay with it. It was awful and insensitive. But I hope that with the help and advice of others, I can learn from this, move past it to be a better person and mother for the future."
