An intervention at a Mississippi Walmart landed one woman in trouble with the cops and another out of work after onlookers stepped up to help a shivering child.
“When you see a child that’s being neglected…why wouldn’t we call the police?”
Wednesday in Byram, Mississippi a woman named Felicia took it upon herself to record and later publish video of a shopper with a young child dressed in nothing more than a diaper and trash bag. According to The Weather Channel, the high temperature in the area of the Walmart Supercenter was 41 degrees with a recorded low of 25.
“Lower your voice,” the presumed mother could be heard saying to one customer attempting to intervene on the child’s behalf.
Moments before, as she was being confronted, the woman could be seen dropping a bag from the frozen food aisle directly onto the bare legs of the boy.
Sharing the video which had received over 8.5 million views on his account alone, Collin Rugg detailed, “Police reportedly called after small boy is seen in nothing but a diaper and uncontrollably shivering as his mother refuses to give him warm clothes.”
NEW: Police reportedly called after small boy is seen in nothing but a diaper and uncontrollably shivering as his mother refuses to give him warm clothes.
Luckily, one apparent shopper felt so bad that they grabbed a pair of clothes to put on him.

Rounding the corner, twerking at those acting on behalf of the child, the woman was unmoved by threats of police involvement as she said child protective services had already been called on her twice before while mentioning something about a fire extinguisher and hot water.
Later in the recording, an older woman of no known relation could be seen dressing the boy in clothes pulled from a rack in the store as the mother stood idly by engrossed in her phone.
On her TikTok account, Felicia shared another video where she said it was her understanding that the boy was in the custody of his grandmother now after cops were involved. “Yes we did call the police. I mean, why wouldn’t we? Why wouldn’t we? That’s a crazy a** question to ask.”
“When you see a child that’s being neglected, don’t have on any clothes, just a diaper, no shoes, no socks, no shirt, no nothing. So why wouldn’t we call the police?” she said.
The outcome was hardly positive for Felicia herself however, as she detailed in a crowdfunding effort for some interim financial support that her attempt to do the right thing had cost her her job.
“No I wasn’t thinking about the consequences at the time, At that time my main focus was on that innocent poor [child, and] to get him some help. Yes I posted the video on my facebook page [because] I wanted to reach out to some of her family members, and case workers,” she explained.
After more than 3,000 views in an hour, Felicia said her manager contacted her to pull it down and she complied. When she returned to work on Saturday, she said she was terminated two hours before the end of her shift.
“I was only trying to help and save that [baby’s] life.”
Reactions on social media were overwhelmingly supportive and grateful to those who intervened on behalf of the child.

No good deed goes unpunished, Felicia.
Getting fired from Walmart?
Best thing that could’ve happened to her I bet.
Having said that, I would never confront these kind of obviously insane people directly.
Loka,
Some people can’t survive without a Walmart type job. That woman, the one fired, is quite deserving of a Go Fund Me.
3 0f my 4 daughters worked for Walmart. Some more than others. 2nd daughter worked her way through a bachelor’s (accounting), and 3rd an associate (computer science). 1st daughter was on fast track for management, but quit for a better job. All 4 do have degrees though (1st an associate in chem and working on bachelor’s and 4th a bachelor’s in social science of some sort. yeah she is a bit of a mess).
All are employed well in their areas of endeavor, except 3rd daughter with the computer science degree who seems to like being a manager at a coffee shop (no not that one, though she did work at that one at the college she was going to).
On the other hand, sorry to be cynical, I wonder how she is doing with the go fund me? Wouldn’t be the first time we have seen something like this played for $ and views.
Don’t you worry Felicia, my next trip to WalMart to buy groceries I will pack some bags of shrimp into the pockets of men’s jackets in the clothing section
Just because.
Nice to meet you friend. I like your style, and if you dont mind, i’ll be doing this as well. I usually get a couple pounds of lunchmeat cut and leave it somewhere, but your idea is better.
Vaj and anal mouse.
Stoopid fuckers!
The employees have to clean that shit up retards!
Yeah, make the world worse for the working class, rucking fetard!
There was no point in playing “Guess The Colour” from the git go, was there?
(Auntie thought it was none other than Shirley Q. liquor doing the filming and narration.)
Yeah, I knew the mom would be black before I scrolled down and saw the video.
It’s always blacks, always. They don’t value life or their young like the civilized.
All the black strangers valued the boy and one even lost her job as a result.
You should differentiate between ‘blacks’ and ‘niggers’; same goes for ‘whites’ and ‘white trash’.
There are many African’ts,
Very few Africans.
When you can’t even stand up for a child, the most innocent in society, without getting fired, your society is lower than dogshit.
The Walton family doesnt care about children……….only money.
I love good people. I REALLY LOVE GOOD PEOPLE.
I hate degenerate people. I REALLY HATE DEGENERATE PEOPLE.
I like to generate people.
When I’m sober, will get back to you. Grew up there.
I didnt even have to read the piece to know the mother was a nigger.
ZL,
I think you might have meant to say-
Fuckin nigger.
There, fixed it!
Your right………….fuckin nigger.
Not my people, not my problem.
God’s children … that makes it a problem for all of US …
Not my Gods’ children.
“There is only us sir.”
It’s always them, Boo Boo.
Bitch ass “mom” is certainly collecting all kinds of taxpayer financed bennies that she would not get but for the fact that her child exists.
R-selected breeding strategy. Volume over quality. Little concern for a baby’s welfare because another one can be dumped out of the sheboon’s bowel.
It takes a village . They had the right idea when they used to sterilize these shaniquas 60 years ago.
Our society has turned to garbage. You’re now criminalized for defending yourself or for defending someone Else’s life. This is how it is in China. People just coldly walk past a person in need of help. It’s gross.
chinks ain’t people
Why bother? Nigs gonna nig. Let them treat they chilluns like literal trash. Only comes natural for them. If it isn’t about getting they freak on, it don’t matter to them.
Whites really have to stop caring about these animals. Let them destroy theyselves.
