Mom drags her kid on a leash through a Verizon store
A mother in Rome, Alabama, who was filmed dragging her kid through a store on a leash, has been arrested.
The woman reportedly injured the child as she quickly drug him/her through the store for all to see.
As you can see in the video, the child is completely limp. Whether it is because the kid was rebelling by going limp, or because the child was injured, is not known at this point. But the child did have visible marks around his/her neck.
The mother, Melissa Catherine Smith-Means, 37, was arrested and charged with felony first-degree cruelty to a child. She is sitting in jail as we speak….hopefully with a leash around her neck.


















THIS IS HORRIBLE TO WATCH! That poooor child. Just listen to the last name (Mean). She shouldnt be in jail with a leash around her neck… but with a rope hanging her above the toilet! lol
my stomach feels so sick from watching that. i want to throw up
thats why I always used a harness……doesn’t really hurt them when you drag them……(sorry, I couldn’t help it) I have seen quite a few kids who NEEDED to be on a leash tho.
All that said, yes, the video is horrible.
If she does that to her child in public, can you imagine what she does to him when no one is watching? That’s what I find so scary about that video, it’s just a normal activity for her to do this to her child. People often wonder why there are so many serial killers hunting women to act out their violent fantasies, that woman is the arch type mother who makes serial killers.
I hope she loses custody of him.
