A mother has been arrested after a video surfaced on social media showing her child being assaulted inside a car, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
Samaria Teyonna Harris-Saunders, 19, was being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $1,000 bond.
According to Sheriff Ennis Wright, several concerned citizens contacted law enforcement when they saw the video on social media, which resulted in an investigation and Harris-Saunders' arrest.
The disturbing video shows a toddler, who appears to be a boy, sitting in the front passenger seat of a car in only a diaper. Someone appears to be striking the toddler's stomach.
Someone off screen in the video is shouting, including profanities and "I hate you."
A court date was scheduled for Aug. 11.
