Police in Cleveland launched an investigation after photos surfaced online of a man allegedly dragging his daughter by the hair inside a Walmart. Witness Erika Burch said she saw the child pleading, “Please stop.
I promise I won’t do it again.” Burch photographed the incident, confronted the man, and called police. Other shoppers, including Ora Schumann, reported seeing the man yank the girl’s hair because she wasn’t standing close to the cart.
Cleveland Police and Child Protective Services confirmed they were reviewing the case, examining whether other children were involved. Burch’s Facebook post went viral with over 18,000 shares, sparking widespread outrage. While many condemned the act as abuse, others debated parental discipline. No charges were filed.
