We find later that the situation was a severe tantrum, where the mother and/or Aunt were attempting to extricate the child from the public place.

I have only seen bits and pieces of the footage, but I must say for a tantrum, the mother handled it pretty darn well. Short of roping and hog tying the kid, she lifted him kicking and screaming from the pavement and got him into the car after he scrabbled and pulled to keep from even being taken outta the store in the first place.

It definitely was reminiscent of some of my brother's younger days, where he would throw knock-down drag-out tantrums in stores.

I say shame on the people criticizing her for having to bodily remove her child from the store. Mind your own business and let the parent parent. Go Mom! Drag him by the feet if you have to.
