Film about a girl who is abused by her mother and jumps off a cliff

I saw this movie (could be a television show also) when I was around 10 years old, (1992) and one particular scene never left my mind. A young girl is being beaten by her mother. The gir hides under a table and the mother throws water (boiling?) at her and the girl runs of to some kind of cliff, where she cries and then jump of it, killing herself in front of her mother. (Yeah, I know, its horrible …) The family was very poor and the colors where yellow and dusty. If someone out there could help me, I’ll be forever grateful. Thanks, – didrik
