I just turned on the TV and flipped to NBC for some news. Immediately, I heard the anchor person warning us that what we are about to see is a disturbing video footage. And I agree.. it is. The video shows a mother beating her little daughter repeatedly. And this happens right outside a supermarket parking lot. She put her child in the car and once the child is in the car, the mother peaked in and started slapping her around and punching her in the arms. It was the most disturbing thing I've seen.. the whole ordeal went on for maybe around 15-20 seconds and the mother closed the back door and walked to the driver seat as nothing has happened. They said this took place somewhere in Indiana, not sure what city though.. but the police are looking for the woman in the video. I hope they find her although I doubt it since the video is off a surveillance camera and you know how blurry it can get.

holy crap, i saw this too! they are looking for the mother now! something about she tried to return something to the grocery store and was denied. she went back to her car and started hammering the girl. that is really really sad, and disturbing to see.

doesnt sound as though that should've been played on the news, maybe a shot of her the best they can get and the car, nobody needs to see a child being beaten under any circumstance

you couldnt see the child actually get beaten, it was more or less her kinda looking crazy in the car. that was about all you could see.

It's very difficult to see the actual child being beaten. The mother did a pretty good job at concealing the whole view. The only thing you see is her body and arms moving nonstop. But yes, it would've been very unappropriate if the child is in the clear view.

-edit-

doh, 1 minute late.
