A 20-year-old Detroit mother allegedly punched and knocked out a female Kroger worker as her one-year-old child watched from a shopping cart.
Shelby Parham, from Detroit, Michigan, has been accused of attacking a 49-year-old Kroger worker who lost consciousness and suffered a head injury after the assault.
The wild beating was captured on nearby security cameras at a Kroger in St. Clair Shores on Tuesday.
In the video, Parham can be seen walking up to the unnamed clerk and punching her in the face, sending her flat to the ground, while her one-year-old baby witnessed the incident from a shopping cart.
Parham has been charged with aggravated assault on Wednesday and was released on a $1,000 bond.
The alleged assault unfolded on Tuesday at a St. Clair Shores Kroger, where Parham reportedly did not have enough money to pay for the items she had rung up.
She allegedly asked for assistance to deduct some items but was not helped in the moment.
She can be seen standing near the self-checkout counter, talking to an employee in the video, moments before abruptly turning back and walking toward the victim.
Parham charged toward the 49-year-old Kroger staff member, who has not been named, as other customers, employees, and her one-year-old daughter watched.
The surveillance footage captures her forcibly punching the staff, who fell to the ground immediately and hit her head.

AND wrong side out!
Wonder why it mattered that her 1 year old was in the grocery cart? Poor kid will no doubt see a lot worse from that parent (?) by the time she’s 15!
White lady working, black lady assaulting.
Shocking.
I hope that’s a straight jacket she’s wearing.
So I don’t have enough money to pay for my groceries to feed my baby right here, but I’m going to pop you in the face and saddle myself with court costs, fines, attorney fees and maybe even punitive damages awarded in a lawsuit.
Male gorillas are called Silver Backs. What is this one called?
“..Pretty young thing...”
Target-rich environment.
And inside-out!
“Blind Date”?
Dumb is, as dumb does!!
I didn’t need to look, but yep, just as I suspected.
Is it a hate crime?
I watched the video. I will not talk about blame here. Because it’s obvious that the shopper (the puncher) is at fault.
Instead I will offer these two points.
1. Do not get into an argument with an irrational person. Keep things calm. You don’t have to agree with the person. But sympathize. Then gently offer a counter-argument. The key word there is “gently”. Or just simply disengage.
2. Remember the Tueller rule: Anyone within 21 feet of you can mess you up before you can usually react. So stay vigilant. And be prepared to block, side-step, and evade.

Think of the horror if there had been a litter or loitering charge aggravated. Might get sent up river for an entire day.
Just move along folks.
Amish on English violence, once again. WLM.
Looks like a pile of .....
That’s ridiculous. She’s a pauper. There is no monetary consequence for her. Public defender and maybe jail time, probation for sure. No fines. And she would not be able to have liability insurance if she can’t afford her groceries.
but lets have them reproduce even more now. ugh.
It takes at least a year for all the symptoms such as headaches and difficulty in concentrating to disappear for a concussion like that. There may be long term consequences as well.
Let me guess.. A dispute over chicken nuggets?
