Mississippi Mom Arrested After Viral Video Shows Her Neglecting Freezing Two-Year-Old Son in Diaper During Grocery Shopping Spree (VIDEO)
Byram police arrested a woman after a disturbing video went viral, showing her bringing her two-year-old son into a local Walmart wearing only a diaper despite freezing weather conditions.
The incident occurred on January 17, 2024, at the Walmart in Buram, Mississippi. The outdoor temperature at the time was a frigid 20 degrees Fahrenheit, with even colder wind chills.
Eyewitnesses and shoppers were appalled to see the toddler, shivering and clad merely in a diaper, seated in a shopping trolley. Walmart employee Felicia Nicole and other customers confronted the mother, expressing their concerns for the child’s well-being.
Felicia recounted that the boy was without a shirt, socks, or shoes in the freezing weather. A fellow shopper reportedly covered the boy with a black jacket after his mother refused to clothe him.
