In a quiet Georgia neighborhood, a shocking incident of child abuse has sparked outrage and concern among neighbors, leading the community to rally together in support of the affected child.
The distressing episode unfolded as a nine-year-old girl was playing with her friends outside, completely unaware of the ordeal that awaited her.
The incident was caught on tape by a vigilant neighbor, Gwen-Harris Mackenzie, who quickly shared the footage on Facebook to bring attention to the child’s plight.
In the heart-wrenching video, the girl’s mother can be seen angrily gripping her hair as she sits on the grass, screaming at her with expletives.
Despite the child’s cries of pain and distress, the mother continues to subject her to shocking abuse, dragging her by her hair as she attempts to escape.
Gwen-Harris recounted that the video was initially recorded by her niece, and although some neighbors may have witnessed parts of the incident, this was the first time it was captured on camera.
Disturbed by what they had witnessed, Gwen-Harris and others swiftly contacted the police to report the mother’s actions.

According to Gwen-Harris, there have been previous instances of the mother’s abusive behavior witnessed by other neighbors, but this was the most horrifying incident caught on video.
She expressed her concern for the children, stating, “Don’t know if any neighbors had witnessed this part but some did see her chasing her. Prayers for those babies.”
The mother involved was identified as 27-year-old Samarria White. Another neighbor recounted that a group of neighborhood children had been playing at White’s pool when she suddenly became angry and sent them home.
The situation escalated when White was observed chasing her own daughter down the road and resorting to hair-pulling to control her.
Upon seeing the video, deputies from Bibb’s County Sheriff’s Office were able to identify White and promptly paid her a visit.
Initially denying any wrongdoing, White eventually confessed to the abuse after being informed that the incident had been recorded.
She was subsequently taken into custody by law enforcement.
The shocking video, which was also shared on social media, has sparked widespread condemnation, prompting the community to come together in support of the traumatized child.
Authorities are currently investigating the matter further, and the incident has raised awareness about the critical importance of vigilance and reporting concerning behavior to ensure the safety and well-being of children in the community.
