[Double Tap]

I've been following this thread this afternoon, and I was in agreement with you that the video was not conclusive. FNC just showed the video up close and slowed down a little. The woman beat the hell out of that child.

The first slaps (open hand) and looked to be to the childs back and butt. After the slaps, she grab the kids hair and shook the kids head hard. The child then gets in the car seat and that is when the mother begins to punch the kid on or about the head. The kicks that you mentioned earlier looked to me to be from pain or the kid had been knocked senseless.

Very sad.

Here is a link to a longer video showing more abuse after putting the bag in the car.
