The girl said she did not want her half-sister, who was sent to a juvenile detention center for molesting her in 2007, to return to live with the family.
She also admitted to telling a therapist that Morse had never really slapped her, but that she had gotten the idea from talking to her half-sister.
Earlier on Tuesday, the girl said Morse, 60, had waterboarded her as punishment for vomiting milk.
Waterboarding, typically associated with the interrogation of terrorism suspects, in general involves holding a cloth over a person's face and flooding it with water to simulate drowning.
Morse {dear old dad} told her she could survive without air for "five minutes without brain damage," she said in a video of her questioning at a children's advocacy center in August 2012."
