Daughter hurting animals?

So I have two cats and my daughter squeezes throws them in the air like a baby and scares them. Also pulls their forehead back and pets them rough and hard and squeezes and steps on their paw until they wince in pain. One of the cats is afraid of balloons, so she tied the balloon around legs and laughed as the cat ran with it. I confronted her and she said she has something called cute aggression and feels the need to do it and she can’t pet them gently, but I think it’s more than that. Any thoughts? I’m thinking of keeping them away from her because I can’t stand seeing those poor cats treated that way.
