Viral video: Unruly boy destroys items at Walmart as horrified customers watch helplessly | Trending

A video of a child throwing and stomping on the march side of a Walmart has shocked social media users. The footage captures the horrified shoppers at the supermarket watching the child run amok.

The video, which is over two minutes long, shows a child pulling things from the shelves. She is also seen trampling on goods from the freezer section. As the video progresses, she picks and breaks bottles, leaving onlookers horrified.

Amid the chaos, a woman follows the girl and screams at others to leave the child alone, saying, “You don’t know what she’s going through.” It is unclear if she is related to the child or a shopper.

Take a look at the viral video:

What did social media say?

The video enraged people, with many blaming the child’s behavior on the parents. A few also slammed the shopkeepers who defended the child who was going around destroying goods in the supermarket.

“My mother would have crushed my head if I had even thought of doing such a thing. Wow!” wrote an X user. Another added: “Parents should have to pay for all the destruction. Then maybe they will learn to teach their children right from wrong.”

A third commented: “30 years ago that girl would have been dragged to her parents or by the nearest adult and probably berated by the parents right there.” A fourth shared: “There is no justification for letting your child run amok and destroy products in a store. This is not a place to have a therapy session.”

All for views?

A few users speculated that the video was staged and that the child was misbehaving for the video. One person commented: “Where’s her mom? She has expensive braids & nice outfit. About 10 years old. Was she set up to do this to go viral which is all some people care about? It’s all so ridiculous.”
