A few days ago I came across A Youtube video on A FB page I follow. It made me sick to my stomach. It was of A mother force feeding her toddler. Above is A picture of Carter the little boy in the video.http://www.wnem.com/story/16696952/criminal-charges-to-be-filed-against-mom-in-child-feeding-video I am sure every parent has put food in their childs mouth but not like this. At one point she put a huge glob of food into his mouth and held the childs mouth shut. After she left go the child gagged it back out and she scooped it back up with her fingers to put it back in his mouth.
The person that found the video had posted it asking for help to find who the mother in the video was. I went on twitter and posted the video with A msg saying URGENT PLEASE HELP THIS CHILD....I sent it to CNN, HLN, NG, JVM, Vinnie P, ABC, CBS, NBC and the list goes on. I then went back to the FB page and learned someone found the woman's personal FB page. I went on www.yellowpages.com to look for the local police dept in that area. And to my surprise their office hours are 8:30 AM to 4 PM. I was like WTH??? So someone called their own local police told them about the video and the police dept asked her to forward the youtube link. She sent the video link and the link to the personal FB page to her police dept. A few days later Vinnie P did A story on the video and to our delight the woman had been arrested for child endangerment.
The other sad part is the father sat there and watched her do it and only stopped her until she had already shoved food in his mouth 5 times. The video was filmed by the 14 year old nephew that was there visiting. He has tried to tell other family members how she was treating the children and no one would believe him. So he filmed it on his phone and uploaded to youtube for help. Kudos to him for being so brave as to record it and post it in order to help the child.
As a group effort we were able to save that child and his siblings from any further abuse. .. This video has now been removed by youtube.
