Mom Slams Boy Into Cart Knocking Him Unconscious
Mom Slams Boy Into Cart Knocking Him Unconscious.
A 28-year-old Bristol Township, PA woman is locked up after police say she lost it with her young son inside a Tullytown Walmart earlier this month, dragging him around by a leash on his backpack and then slamming him into a shopping cart multiple times until he went unconscious.
According to Tullytown Borough Police, officers got called to the store on Levittown Parkway on March 14 for a welfare check on a mom and her two small kids. A shopper who saw the whole thing told cops Samantha Eliza Fletcher looked like she was under the influence. She was screaming profanities at the children and dragging the boy across the floor by the backpack leash while he cried hysterically.
The witness said Fletcher picked the kid up and dropped him into the cart, making him hit his head. Another shopper even stepped in and asked if she needed help. Fletcher reportedly told the woman she could try, and the boy calmed down a bit resting on the stranger's shoulder. But then things got worse. Police say Fletcher took him back and slammed him in and out of the shopping cart at least five times. That's when he banged his head again and passed out.
When officers got there inside the store, they found Fletcher holding the unresponsive boy in her arms. He had a big bruise on his forehead. A little girl, believed to be his sister, was asleep in the cart. Medics couldn't wake him up at the scene and rushed him by ambulance to St. Mary Medical Center. A CT scan there confirmed a serious concussion.
Child protective services got involved right away and sent both kids to stay with their father.
