Question: Why didn't Violet's mother stop the Oompa-Loompas from jumping on her daughter during their song? They didn't care about her comfort as they jumped on her from a big height, making the impact painful, and they also rolled her on her head, making her hit the floor and mopping it with her hair. She can be heard several times pleading with the Loompas to stop, crying for help and screaming. So why didn't her mother stop them?

Other mistake: Squirrels are used in the factory to get nuts out of shells. Mr Wonka states that they tap the nut first to make sure it isn't a bad nut. However, this is never done until the action is pointed out.
Willy Wonka: Everything in this room is eatable. Even I'm eatable, but that is called canibalism, my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.
Trivia: In the scene with the young Willy Wonka eating a box of chocolates, he is writing down in a notebook a description of each chocolate he eats. When Roald Dahl was at boarding school there was a Cadbury's factory nearby that used the pupils as testers for their new chocolate, and they were asked to write down their comments in much the same way. This is mentioned in his book Boy.
Question: After young Willy sees his childhood home disappear, where did he live and grow up?
Answer: We are never shown what happened to him but he may have gone to live with relatives or he was simply put into an orphanage.

Answer: I'll be completely honest - I think you may be drastically overthinking this quite a bit. There's nothing to suggest that the Oompa-Loompas are causing her significant pain, nor is screaming or crying as much as this question suggests. It's a highly stylized song sequence in a highly stylized movie. You shouldn't necessarily be watching it as though it were totally realistic and logical. But to give you something of an answer, you could also say the mum is just in a state of shock.
