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?

Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Johnny Depp, Christopher Lee, Helena Bonham Carter, Freddie Highmore, David Kelly, Missi Pyle
Other mistake: In the beginning of the song about Augustus Gloop, computer generated Oompa Loompas can be seen running through the Chocolate Room, preparing to sing their song. In the DVD release, some Oompa Loompas can be seen running to places that no real person could possibly stand on. This mistake was later corrected in the Blu-Ray release.
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.

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.
