Americans outraged at video of girl attacking her elderly ‘mother’ at Walmart
A little girl has become famous for throwing a spectacular tantrum on the aisle of one of the outlets of America’s mega retailers, Walmart.
The video shows the black girl, between 6 and 9, kicking an elderly black woman initially thought to be her grandmother, but later identified as her foster mother.
The floor is littered with what is believed to be the shopping done by the elderly woman. Some of it have been shattered and scattered on the floor.
The girl is prancing around and swearing at the elderly woman who is also speaking, but what she is saying is not audible.
The girl occasionally grabs hold of some items from the stand and flings them at the woman but a concerned male shopper blocks the missiles from hitting the woman.
The male shopper stands in-between the belligerent girl and the elderly woman to save her from further beating.
Unfortunately, no one can do much as child protection law in America is so strict that someone can land in jail if he disciplines the unruly child.
The scene was captured by a shopper Ke Chichara Smalls whose shocked voice can be heard running commentary on the clip.
She later uploaded the video on her Facebook page and it went viral.
She was bombarded by requests from media outlets who wanted interviews with her to enable her to shed more light on the incident or link them with the assaulted woman and her child.
In an update later, she wrote:
“AITE NIE…YALL CAN WRAP THAT VIRAL WALMART VIDEO UP BY 10:00PM BECAUSE IM TIRED…THAT LADY IS FREE OF THAT LIL GIRL…AND I PRAY SHE GETS THE HELP SHE NEEDS!!! IF SHE AS A FOSTER PARENT COULDNT TOUCH HER….HOW TF YALL THOUGHT I COULD DAMNN FOOLS…”
