kid dragged

A mother in Georgia named, Melissa Smith, was caught on camera ringing her kid’s neck by dragging her child through the store with one of those leashes…they use. She has just been charged.

The funny part about all this is, in the video below, analysts are trying to justify the act, as well as, find out “about her past.”

Ya’ll know, only some people get the benefit of “looking into the past.” Most black people’s pasts are never considered. When is the last time you heard an analyst say that about a black man or woman charged with a crime?… Us either…

  • letsbecivil

    Sad thing is if that was a black woman doing that, it wouldnt be any question of if its cruelty or not

  • rayray

    I cant stand to parents with leashes on their kids…..drives me nutz

  • Angee

    Sad, and there is no excuse and no reason to justify this!!

  • drenk

    kids are annoying

  • PUSSYCATFUN

    WOW!

    SHE SHOULD GET THE DEATH SENTENCE!

  • Bestmoni

    I actually think that she was wrong for that. But does not deserve to be charged with a felony. yes charge her lock her up for awhile but she will also learn a valueble lesson. Drag him by his arm and make him walk!!

  • Angee

    I have seen parents use a similar device on their children, but I have never seen one wrapped around the neck of the child!

  • Anon

    WTF? That’s not child abuse. You get charged with a felony for that?!

    That little bastard was probably working her nerves, and refused to get up off the floor after throwing a tantrum.

  • %#&?!!

    smh. she needs 2 b on a leash.

    The hand that drags the leash rules the verizon store.

  • Ryan Coke

    That ain’t how you do it b-tch.

  • SmartNegro

    It’s just like Katt Williams said. That boy will go off kill and bunch of people when he’s older because he was raised like an attack dog from an early age.

  • BlahBlah

    Gettin’ dragged on the floor – That’s nothing! Shit, my mother (she’s from the Island) So you know how they do–ass whoopin’ w/cussin’, then 20 mins later cussin’, and then the next morning more cussin’ about yesterday…. LMAO

  • Niasia

    This story is old. She should be going to jail. You know if a black person did this we would be called all kinds of savages and so on. just sad.

    They were just playing an innocent game of Follow the Leader. Mom was in the lead, lol.

    No seriously this is MILD compared to the way I have seen some mommas treat their kids.

  • olsweetdickwillie (WHO GONNA CHECK ME BOO?)

    lol@ hannibal…The Joe Jackson treatment

    @Alrighty Then,

    “And I have YET to see a little black kid on a leash. Teach them little monsters how to act before you bring them out of the house and you won’t have to worry about leashes!”

    I havent either but it doesnt mean black kids are a model of virtue when they are out in the store. I was at WalMart not too long ago and this little black boy was spraying the whole area with air fresher. All in everyone’s face. A black man who was an employee at WalMart had to out this boy in his place. My guess is that this young boy didnt have a black male at home to put him in his place. His mother had the nerve to look around waiting for someone else to control her own kid.

  • Wow

    …I kid…I kid.

  • Kigali (Sanjor’s Little Helper)

    @Rrrrrroe Ski Love,

    You know black American children are probably the most corporally punished children in America. Do they grow up, as adults, more disciplined? Hell they dont. Black boys arent graduating from high school the way they should, they are being herded like cattle into special education classes, being diagnosed with all kids of disabilities.

    Sorry but your system hasnt been working.

    How about you stop beating your children. How about you stop barking orders at your kids like they are dogs in need of training. Did you know black females use smaller vocabulary when talking to their children than white mothers do? Preparing them for a like of carrot and stick inside of thoughtful reflection, a conscience, and good judgement.

  • Moreaces

    This is why am glad I dont have children, Thank you jesus

  • Kigali (Sanjor’s Little Helper)

    *Preparing them for a life of carrot and stick instead of thoughtful reflection, a conscience and the ability to make good judgement.

  • Kigali (Sanjor’s Little Helper)

    @Moreaces,

    I will be happy when black females have less children. They are woefully equipped to prepare adults, especially adult males to be functioning human beings.

  • Resurrected

    First of all that child looks to big to be on a leash, to drag him in a store like this on public it does make me think how is this child being treated at home… I do think a parent should have the right to discipline there children without the laws sat so but there are many woman that are choosing to have children for whatever irresponsibile reason that does not have the patience for this position of parenthood… This woman probably has very dysfunctional ways of dealing with her child… I do think that a felony is extreme but they do need to get into that home and find out all of the hidden truth of the relationship between the mother and child…

  • Resurrected

    Kigali

    I think that you comment is very extreme especially if you are in the race category and a black woman birth you but yes woman are all races are not always equipped to raise children and before you speak I am a black American that was raise well by my single black mother and had a abundance of love as well…

  • Resurrected

    Kigali

    Also many white people rasie there children with no discipline or rules and there child turn out no better just raised with some money and they are the worst… I have heard plenty reference on TV tell how the rich and fameous children are the worst and rudes of all and have high very suicide rates…

  • Jena4rmthablock

    That hoe snorted a whole line of coke-i-ena before she dragged a child on the floor of a store full of people. If you wanna know about some racially biasist arrests look up a story in Jacksonville,Fl a 15 year old white boy who went to Ed White HS with no licence was skiping school with 8 other students, the tire blows everyone flys out of the car and dies, but the driver and people are says dont charge him, the death of his friends is enough punishment. F*CK that if my kid was in the car I would drive my AK 47 up is azz. Let the driver be black he would have been under the Jail!

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh…

    That’s why you have the 2 minute drill as soon as you pull into your parking spot. Yall know the rules. Don’t touch shit, don’t ask for shit, don’t say shit. If I want you to have something, I’ll offer it to you. Understand?

  • Resurrected

    No children are safe from the corruption of the world these days no matter what the color of your skins is because adults are so selfish in this world… They think that life is all about there own needs then don’t have children because it is a choice not an accident…

  • bman

    crackers?

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh…

    LOL @ bman. Imitation saltines.

  • A.Q.

    I have raised two children i was never abusive toward my kids but when they got totally out of line in public the look i gave them told them i was going to burn that booty up. I didn’t have too many of those episodes because they new what the outcome was going to be. I agree with a few people who commented that she should have burned the booty up when they got back to the car and she needed to discipline him the right way at home a little bit more instead thinking time out work. these crazy kids needs those backsides warmed up.

  • asdf

    whip his a@# at home, and then you dont have to do this in public. i knew better when i got outside.
    those folks on tv have it backwards.

  • Resurrected

    Alrighty Then…

    How are you doing today? I don’t have any children but have many nieces and nephews and they all act as if they have since and were raise with order for the most part… Many people sometimes look at use funny because our children are very ruley, it is very crazy when people are looking at you like you are crazy because your children know how to behave… It just like Yolanda Adams sound that if you have adults that act crazy in the mist of a storm then so will your children… Children do what you do not what you say and I have plenty of ways about me because I saw my mother be very caring of others… Congratulations for your son’s success because that is not an easy job to raise a good man or woman for that matter…

  • Jamaquina.Cubana

    Ha!
    This will b Kendra & Kourtney in a few, b/c we all know that none of them will know how to take care of their badbreed kid!

  • Jamaquina.Cubana

    @ Resurrected … adults are so selfish in this world… They think that life is all about there own needs…
    ———————–
    I think there really is something in the water. Have everybody living/thinking BACKWARDS. The same mixed-up adults are too busy BABYING animals and
    mistreating HUMAN children. It’s insane the world we live in!!

  • Resurrected

    Alrighty Then…

    Yeah I feel you it’s like when people tell me you are so lucky that you don’t have children and I get offended because it is not luck but a choice… Poeple are so delusional about there choices, habits, and life style you are the one that chose it, it did not chose you…

  • TMHESQ

    There are certainly double standards throughout the the criminal justice system as well as society as a whole. Case in point, what that lawyer “thinks” might be a felony is totally irrelevant. The only thing that matters is how GA law defines a felony and whether the conduct meets the definition. All that other stuff, i.e., motive, the mother’s past, etc., is just plain bull.

  • Alrighty Then…

    @Resurrected – there should be some prerequisite for having children, besides getting your period. I always fear for my kids in this world. Seems shit’s just getting worse and more bizarre every day.

  • Resurrected

    Alrighty Then…

    One things that I have learn it is very scary being connected to other people so deeply like children and a partner because you can not control who they are around, what they go through and who they will become and so many get lost in the mist of the world lies and ways… I am also scared to have children because I know how to be very guarded with myself and as much as I will try to teach my children the same they are still people who have the ability to be corrupted by the world system and other foolish people…

  • BLACKDIAMONDCENTER

    @ Jessica … I agree this is wrong no need for questioning…………

  • http://customcalendars4u2.com Taisha in Chicago

    I’m not sure what’s going on in this still image with mom and child, but I can vividly remember when my oldest daughter was two years old and she broke away from me and almost fell to her death,afterward I could see how a child leash that wrapped around her wrist with a velcro strap could be very useful in saving a small childs life.

  • Not Again

    Leashes are for dogs not children.

  • Lil Ms. Phyre

    @MrS*Diamond Encrusted*Glok

    I got that. We on the same page.

  • http://www.castlehairstudio.com pistol whipped

    Your people.

  • T

    LMAO@ these comments. i hope none of you are mothers. kids are bad but kids are kids. discipline them IN the home and you shouldn’t have this problem outside the home but that is abuse. i disagree with her being charged w/ a felony unless that leash was around his neck but this is not right. too many ppl have kids but dont have the necessary time to raise them. just wanna call them bad and whip them. thats the mf’s that end up bullies and graduate to crime. take the necessary time wit your kid. half the time they just want attention. help them channel their energy. put them in karate other things. lil boys are always going to be hyper. its just how you handle it and that was wrong and for anyone that agrees with what she’s doing again i hope you’re not a parent. and no i dont have any kids but you know why…because i know i dont have the patience to put the TIM in thats required. stop carelessly pregnamt and then getting mad and children for being children….

  • noah

    leashes don’t even belong on animals, not to mention children. parents who put leashes childresn shouldn’t have more children. as for this bein national news on a 24/7 cable news network, is anyone seeing a problem with that. Did we not have the elite and powerful ganster billions of dollars from the american people, aren’t we at war, are we in the middle of a great global climate change, are we on a decline in oil production. wtf is wrong with us?

  • John D. Hater

    SHE SHOULD’A TAKEN OFF HER BELT AND DROP ONE LASH ON HIM BACKSIDE!!!

  • cosign

    kids aint shit. do your thang white lady

  • Chocolateduchess

    That Kid was problem acting on rudely all day and she got tried of it and said you going to keep falling out I going to to leave you there and drag you if you do stop MATTHEW…. LOL… drag the bad bastard.

    I would like to say that I have a daughter who just turned two. Her personality is nothing like I expected. She is a sweet child but when she can’t have her way she acts up. She was the first grandchild on both sides and everyone caters to her. Even my cousins and aunts. I did not have her until my 30′s and everyone was excited. I was working until recently so my in-laws would have her about 10 or more hours a day. It’s sad but they set the tone because of how they treat her. They never had any girls and let her get away with things. Honestly I only had her for about 3 hours a day until she goes to bed. On the weekends family comes over and then there is the church nursery on Sundays.

    Most of her discipline did not come from me until now. My father and I discipline her and are potty training her but when she goes to her grandparents they do neither.

    It’s said but family members will look at me like my child is bad but they are the one’s who basically did it. They have been around from day one and I should’ve told them to go home. I mean they are nice people but it’s like a village is raising my daughter but when she does something they don’t like then they say she’s bad. Even people with no children will try and give tips on how to raise her.

    She ran from me in the store once and the next day I bought a leash. It’s not that we cant hold her hand. She just so small its hard and she’s busy and looking at things. A leash actually gives her the freedom to move a little more. I don’t drag her or yank on her. It also gives her more excercise than riding in a basket all the time. When I go for walks I use it and it’s great. I also use the stroller sometimes. You never know what a parent is going through. There should not be abuse but please offer a helping had to parents because sometimes they are overwhelmed.

    This ladies son looks about 4 or 5 and knew what he was doing. I would not drag my child like that though, I would have discipline him.

  • MissTasha

    How dare she represent Georgia liek that but suits well for representing the opposite race of black. lol! She could have at least strapped the child in a damn stroller.

  • http://tt theresa

    so you are told to get your kid when there running around like brats, then when you do something about it you get in trouble with the law? what the heck?
