who here has actually seen the blows? no one? didn't think so. I saw the video on TV, not some crummy internet stream. It looks like she was nuts, whatever she was doing.

who knows what this nut was up to, but you could not see any blows landing on the kid.

It looked like she was shaking the seat maybe...

the problem here is that she WASN'T arrested and had the kid taken away. Then this thread would be "State steals woman's baby because of indecisive tape"

O-kay--I watched it again on TV--just to be sure--there are at least 3 or 4 slaps that absolutely connect with the kid as she hops up into the truck, hard enough that they knock her down onto the seat/floor -- then you can see some more smacks, and mom makes a fist and pummels a few times, but you cannot see if those shots connect--the kid is kinda rolling around...she then picks up a toy and places it next to the car seat, and then grabs the girl's pony-tail and shakes her -- you can see her head bouncing against the back of the seat for a second- but it's really fast. If this was just "playing" or rough-housing, it doesn't show on her face when she turns toward the camera (which I noticed is focused on the car and then zooms in--security guys must have been watching this live). Then you see the little girl get into the car seat, and mom closes the seat and sets the toy up again and grabs a bag to put into the car, after this she puches a few more time towards the kids head (but it may have only hit the seat) and then she shakes the seat really hard. If this kid wasn't hit at all, or was only spanked a few times...why the hiding ? If it was my kid and I was accused all over national TV of beating her when I was really just "shooing a bee" or "playing"...I'd march right into the nearest police station and show them..."we were only play fighting...see she's fine" .. of course I don't have a mug shot or possible outstanding warrants hangin' over my head either :)
