Georgia woman arrested after viral video shows her dragging her child by the hair.
Samrria Mona White, 27, was charged with first-degree cruelty to children on Wednesday.
The neighbor told WGXA their children were playing at White’s pool, but White got angry and sent everyone home. The neighbor then says they spotted White chasing her daughter down the road.
“In the shocking video, which was also posted to social media, the woman is seen striking the child in the face several times,” the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office wrote on its Facebook page about the incident.
The video then appears to show White dragging her daughter through the grass by the hair.
According to the arrest report, deputies went to White’s home and asked her about the incident. Deputies said she denied dragging her daughter.
The child was taken to the hospital after redness on her chest started to bruise, according to the report.
Deputies booked White into the Bibb County Jail on cruelty to children in the first degree. Jail records show a $20,000 bond, but she remains in jail as of Friday morning.
The video was taken by a concerned neighbor whose children were playing at White’s home, according to the arrest report. The neighbor told deputies that White got mad and sent everyone home.
