If you’ve already watched the video then you should know the woman in question was arrested after the incident you just viewed took place in a Verizon store in Alabama.  I visit Alabama frequently, always enjoy my time there, and quite frankly I expected more from them on this one.  The entire situation disgusts me and it makes me realize what a hateful society we have become.

Here we have a poor, innocent, young mother shopping by herself with her 3 year old son.  She obviously has a very heavy bag in her right hand and is in quite a hurry.  Her son appears to be in a desperate need for a nap and from experience I can tell you the floors in a Verizon store are very soft.  She had probably promised to play with the young lad later that day by towing him behind an ATV in a field or perhaps assisting him with a little bumper skiing down a quiet country road.  As it does when shopping with children time got away from her and she was forced to combine activities so as not break little Timmy’s heart.  While rushing thru the store she realized it was getting close to nap time, she can’t carry him and the bag, and as she stopped to ensure the leash was around his chest and not his neck she asked if he would like to play a little game in the store while he got some rest.  Before he could answer she gave his heels a quick kick, the leash a forceful yet loving yank, and yelped for him to hang on!  The shock of the impact instantly put the boy in a REM state where he could blissfully dream the dragging motions his body was experiencing were taking place in a cartoon with monkeys and dolphins swimming in a pool of chocolate milk miles away from all the meth labs.

Arresting this woman for taking time out of her busy day to be a mother to her child is appalling.  We need to get our shit together america.
