A 28-year-old Pennsylvania mother, Samantha Fletcher, is facing single counts of aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of children, recklessly endangering another person, and simple assault after authorities arrested her for allegedly abusing her son during a shopping trip to the Tullytown Walmart on Saturday, March 14.

Fletcher is accused of violently "slamming" the boy into a shopping cart, knocking the crying child unconscious.
Several shoppers at the Tullytown store witnessed the alleged crime and called 911, police said.
Officers dispatched to the store spoke with a witness who claimed she saw a woman acting aggressively while shopping with her kids.

'He observed a female appearing to be under the influence, screaming profanities at two small children and dragging the one child around the floor by a backpack leash while he was crying hysterically,' read a police statement on the arrest.
'The witness stated the female picked up the child and dropped him into a shopping cart, causing him to hit his head. At some point the child lost consciousness.'
One witness said Fletcher was dragging one of the children across the store's floor by a backpack leash.
Another claimed the boy had been rammed into the cart at least five times, with the boy hitting his head against a metal part of the shopping cart, the witness claimed.
Shoppers pointed Fletcher out to Tullytown Borough Police, who approached, and saw her "holding the unconscious child in her arms."
Emergency medical personnel assessed the situation and when they could not wake him up, determined the boy required "immediate medical attention."
Because he had a visible bruise on his forehead, a CT scan was ordered, and revealed the boy had a concussion from being slammed into the cart.
She's being held on a $10,000 bond and her children were released to the custody of their father.
