In a shocking incident at a Cleveland Walmart, photos have emerged on social media of a man allegedly forcefully gripping his daughter’s hair onto a shopping cart. This incident has sparked outrage and an active investigation by the police.

Erika Burch, a witness to this disturbing scene, quickly took several photos of the man and the distressed child. Showing great courage, she confronted the man and urged him to release the girl’s hair. However, he defiantly responded, “No, you need to mind your own business.”

Robert Burch, who witnessed the incident, expressed his shock, stating, “He dragged that baby around the store.” Another shopper, Ora Schumann, also observed the incident and noted that the man seemed angry because the child wasn’t standing close to the shopping cart. According to Schumann, the man grabbed the girl’s hair, pulled her towards the basket, and reprimanded her. The child apologized, saying, “I’m sorry I won’t do that again, I’m sorry.”

The photos shared by Erika Burch on Facebook have gained significant attention, with over 18,000 shares. Many individuals have expressed their distress and concern for the child’s well-being. One user wrote, “This is so sad. I feel awful for that poor baby girl. I hope this gets investigated further.”

However, opinions on the disciplinary methods used by the man vary. While some disagree with his actions, others caution against quick judgment. One user remarked, “While I do not agree with his methods, I’m not judging him either. The child perhaps needed some discipline, and he made his choice.”
