Hi guys!
Well ever since I got my baby MuShu, we have been tried as hard as we could to potty train him. He pees on the pad 90% of the time at 6 months old. Of course there's always the occasional accident. My concern is how my mom deals with the accidents, if I don't see it happen.

After MuShu peed on the floor, which may be up to an hour after it happened, my mom scolds him. She picks him up by the back of his neck (I know it doesn't hurt), hits him in the face, pushes half of his face into his mess, then practically throws him into his ex-pen and sometimes hit him or yells. Then she makes me clean the mess.
I almost cry every time I see this happen. He is such a small little thing, and she thinks it's okay to hit him (Even a big dog shouldn't be hit!). I mean, I would understand a tiny tap on the nose that only causes discomfort, while he still remembers his mess, but not an hour after. That has to be animal abuse right??

What do you think I should do!? I can't stand to see my baby locked up in his ex-pen in the corner for hours on end. My mom won't let me take him out. we have fought about this a numerous amount of times, and now I'm just out of ideas.

Can I get some opinions on this?

(Mind you, I'm only 15, if that matters...)
