Aaliyah Shantrelle Herring, 25, was arrested on charges of child abuse and neglect on Monday, online records show.
The video was taken by a man the woman identified as the child’s father.
In the video, the mother, appearing to be filled with rage and holding a clothes hanger, is seen moving toward her daughter, who was heard crying in the background.
“You want to sit down and lay down and have a [expletive] baby and not be able to take care of it after you know my [expletive] health conditions?” The mother was heard asking the father in the video.
Miami Gardens police said the video shows the woman “repeatedly beating a young child,” with an agency sergeant telling Local 10 News, “It was very, very hard for us to watch.”
Police said she was Baker Acted.
According to an arrest report, Herring claimed in a police interview Monday that she was disciplining her child for “throwing a remote at her.”
Herring was booked into Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and was being held on a $7,500 bond as of Tuesday afternoon.
