Authorities said the mother had left the store angry because she was refused a cash refund for goods. The woman is then seen putting her daughter in the back seat of a sport utility vehicle, then pummeling, slapping and shaking her for nearly a half-minute.
Toogood's attorney, Steven Rosen, said his client was angry because her child was misbehaving in the department store. He said he would not attempt to defend the attack because of the videotape.
"It's clear here the young lady lost her temper," said. "I'm not here to say she's not guilty ... She committed a shameful act. She shall be punished."
Rosen also criticized the girl's temporary placement with another family, saying the Toogood family was tight-knit and traumatized by the decision.


{ ten bucks says you could read that whole story and never think about how the video tape made the transition from camera to human eye. somebody had to SEE that incident. but it's all about the camera. captured on videotape. captured indeed. a boundariless paddock of reactive domesticated animals, with all that moral outrage confined to the approved moral distinctions. when are they going to show the little mangled corpses on nationalTV? hmmm? automobile "accidents" are the leading cause of death for children, for people under 30 for that matter._ the. leading. cause. of death._ but they've got all the swine up in trotters about abuse and smoking. which, kaff, kaff, are yes truly bad things, but...the leading cause of death... purely random, violent death, with no biological purpose, no right or wrong, just tick tick tick tick, boom! bang! and voila! dead kids.
and not a fucking word from the holy screen. why?
I wonder.}
