Please save my cat from my 4-year old

I have a female cat who is about 8 years old and in good health. She just went to the vet for shots and a check-up. She is spayed, but has claws. I trim the claws every couple of weeks and she doesn't scratch furniture (sometimes one of my carpets, but not too bad). She has a small growth in her ear, but the vet said that if it is not bothering her (which it is not), just to leave it alone.
My situation is this: I have a 4-year old who for years has bothered the cat and spends half the day carrying the cat around by the mid-section, legs dangling. All I listen to all day and all night is the cat meowing, but the cat has only reached out to scratch my daughter once or twice with not even a mark. No form of reprimanding seems to get through to my daughter. I cannot take this any more and I'm sure the cat is pretty tired of it to. My parents took the cat in for 6 months or so, but then they got a dog and the dog tortured the cat worse then my daughter, so we took the cat back. I also have a 2-year old who is starting to bother the cat, and I am expecting a baby in June. So, we are a very full house and I'm afraid that the cat gets much more negative attention than she deserves.
She is a sweet cat and likes people. If someone is interested in giving my poor cat (and me) a little peace and quiet, please send me an email and I can send pictures.
