Mother & 6 Yr Old Son Fight, Beat Down Woman in Shampoo Aisle of Indiana Walmart (WWE Style)



I have no words that can accurately communicate how angry at, and embarrassed of, our society this makes me.

Some background:

INDIANA POLICE ARREST MOTHER INVOLVED IN VICIOUS WALMART FIGHT

Police arrested Amber Stephenson, 34, on preliminary charges of child neglect, a felony, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor.

The video, posted to YouTube on June 4, shows Stephenson begin fighting with Rebecca Mills, 39. Stephenson can be heard telling her 6-year-old son to hit Mills in the face. The child complies and is seen hitting Mills with his fists and with shampoo bottles.

There were several onlookers who watched the fight, but none of them stepped in to stop it.

She was abusing an employee and calling her "n****r" then she gets up out of the scooter and advances, makes contact and starts the physical part of the fight.

But who gets arrested? The lady who was telling her to stop her abuse (!)

I think that was why way back then it was called a "cat fight". I don't know it that term is derogatory or not, but it sure seemed to be what got in the middle of. When it was almost over all 3 of the girls were beating on me because I tried to stop it. Never again will I b e so stupid.

and even the bug husky guys don't step in to break it up. I guess people really don't care if someone gets hurt any more. It's more fun to film it and post it on Facebook or YouTube.

intervene. Then I was advised by the gym teacher, let 'em go. They will be out of energy in less than two minutes. Then you can step in.
