It all "appeared" one way or another. I want PROOF.

I watched it over and over last night to the point my wife said I was obsessed with it.

I could tell nothing conclusive one way or the other.

It did seem the little girl 'scampered' into her car seat after the initial 'beating', which I thought odd. If the child had been hurt, wouldn't she be cowering?

The rest showed a lot of arm motion of the woman, but I couldn't discern contact with the child.

I too thought the foot waving typical of a child.

These Irish Gypsys are bad news. I would never let one in my home. There are groups of them in SC that behave the same as the ones described in Texas.

Being a petty thief and scam artist doesn't make her a homicidal Mom though.

The mother probably shouted to the child to get in the seat, so she could make a hasty retreat. The child, hoping to end the beating, did what she was promptly told.

I saw the video last night that showed the attack from a distance. Today, Fox is showing the zoomed in version, and it is more telling.

Not necessarily. She might have been scampering in an effort to appease the beast and avoid another beating. Abused children often try very hard to please their abusers.
