Police: Mother Baker Acted after video shows her abusing young daughter

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – A South Florida mother is under investigation over a video that appears to show her physically abusing her own daughter.

The video was taken by a man the woman identified as the child’s father.

In the video, the mother, appearing to be filled with rage and holding a clothes hanger, is seen moving toward her daughter, who was heard crying in the background.

“You want to sit down and lay down and have a [expletive] baby and not be able to take care of it after you know my [expletive] health conditions?” The mother was heard asking the father in the video.

What happens next in the video is being investigated by Miami Gardens police.

“What you see in the video is a mother repeatedly beating a young child,” said Miami Gardens Police Sgt. Emmanuel Jeanty. “It was very, very hard for us to watch.”

The father eventually called police, who responded.

“The officers Baker Acted the mother,” said Jeanty.

The child is in stable condition and under the care of a trusted family member, authorities said.

No charges have been filed in the case.
