Mom of the Year

Correction: The post erroneously reported the incident took place in the Jackson Walmart. 

Outrage ensued when a woman brought her child wearing only a diaper to the Byram Walmart despite freezing temperatures last week.  The Daily Mail reported:  

Shocked shoppers confronted a mother who brought her toddler son to Walmart wearing nothing but a diaper in freezing weather.

The little boy was shivering as he sat in the shopping trolley in the store in Jackson, Mississippi, on Wednesday during last week's winter storm.

Temperatures plunged to 37F that day, yet the child wasn't given proper clothes for the shopping trip.

Felicia Nicole, a Walmart worker who confronted the mother along with other shoppers, said she was sacked after posting video of the boy online.

The young woman said it was 20F or colder when the mother and child came in, and the boy was only wearing a diaper with no shirt, socks, or shoes.

She said before her video began, another shopper draped a black jacket over the boy after his mother refused to get him something to wear.

At one point the toddler visibly shivered with his teeth chattering.

'What's wrong with you?' an older man asked the mother repeatedly as she grabbed shopping for shelves and tossing them in the trolley next to her son.

She turned around and told the man to lower his voice, then pushed her trolley away and moved toward Felicia's camera.

Felicia and other shoppers said someone should call the cops, but the mother appeared to say police had already been called on her twice before.

'As long as you got hot water, fire extinguisher...' she said, before dramatically pausing.

'When you come in the store fully dressed and your baby's not...' Felicia replied.

'How many kids you got?' the mother shot back, and Felicia said she had one child as the woman turned and pushed her trolley down the frozen food aisle.

A second video showed a kind older shopper, a woman on a mobility scooter, dressing the boy in a long-sleeved shirt and pants she bought for him.  Rest of article.

I saw the same thing in Flowood last week.

A young father had around a 10 month old in his buggy with nothing on but a diaper and a shirt, which was too small for him.

Stupidity comes in all colors. The guy I viewed was as white as I am. F--g dumbass.

Unfortunately, there are lots of folks around here who shouldn't procreate as they have no desire to raise a child up properly. One has to wonder why folks like her have children in the first place with the accessibility and affordability of birth control products in modern society? What incentivized her to have children?

One of the biggest drivers of our current crime issues, individuals having children without the means or ability to care for them. With a few exceptions, this child and the many others like him have little to no chance in life. Chances are he will be woefully uneducated, and will be raised by the streets. In order to survive he will have no choice but to steal to eat. At some point he will father a child; and the cycle goes unbroken.
This began in the 1960’s with LBJ’s great society programs. This problem is generational and until it is addressed, all other problems will remain unsuccessful.

So, mom is fine with another person dressing her child as she has her nose stuck to her phone. Her priorities for her money and her time are crystal clear.

10:24 I have said almost the same thing verbatim for years.
The Great Society and irresponsible parenting (as a consequence of LBJ) will be our undoing.
I don't see how it ever ends.

She can afford clothes for the child.
She chooses not to.
Selfish and disgusting, but accurate.

9:58 here.

I'm not a troll but, I see why you would view my post in that manner.

Yes, the woman was the typical idiot you could see in Jackson. I'm just sharing my encounter because it was just as alarming to me as it was the grown ups in the video.

Having a child should be at least as hard as getting a drivers license.

In 20 years, posters on JJ will be ripping this young man for whatever transgression he commits. He never had a chance.

Went to college in WV and I can assure you that in Appalachia many whites are the very same way. Not sure why you’d think this person is a troll. The poorest counties in the country are vastly white and in wv Ohio etc. this is common to have uneducated parents raise kids this way unfortunately

10:24 Before you decry the "Great Society" programs and LBJ and all of the 60's reforms please remember that those programs were a response, in many cases a misguided remedy for overwhelming inequality and state imposed discrimination which any civilized nation should have addressed. The remedies were in many cases just social experiments which produced bad results, but when it's broke we try to fix it even if we don't know what we are doing. And in the 60's our society was broke, now it's broke again. Will we try to fix it? Do we know how?

It happens. On a very cold day recently I was in Babes Gentlemens Club in Jackson. I saw a young lady in her 20's who wasn't wearing much at all. I gave her some money so that she could hopefully buy some clothes. I'm going back in a few days to give her some more money.

This video makes me teary, I cannot lie. He's just a baby and if the mother wont advocate for him, they she does not deserve to have him. I am thankful that the police were called. I am thankful that her negligence was brought to the public. I hope there will be welfare checks.

This is heartbreaking. God bless the employee who stood up for this child. She may have lost her job but I believe good deeds come back to you, so I hope she finds employment far better than Walmart.

We all need to remember not to ignore the goodness still among us and not pay all our attention to the bad.

If you read the whole Daily Mail piece, they quoted former planned parenthood director, "Dr" Abby Johnson who was sickeningly patronizing as she expressed her sympathy over the unfortunate situation. To her and her ilk, this should be exhibit A why these babies should be aborted. However, she's right in that there are people who would love to raise that child. "Dr" Johnson's concern for that child is about as sincere as Vladimir Putin's concern for children in Ukraine.

10:43 - I disagree with your assessment. The main thing that separates humans from animals is the ability to reason. A human does not need to have the excuse of poverty or lack of education to know that a child, or anyone for that matter, should be clothed in cold weather. The mother was.

Stupid? Why would you call this woman Stupid? She took a page right outta the Lumumba Play Book! Just as the Jackson City Government let it's citizenry go without water & Poof! Some how water magically appeared! Same with clothing her child. Yall aint been paying much Attention, have you?

That's actually the Byram Walmart.

Does it really matter the color of the people involved? Can't we get past that, and simply see fellow human beings?

As others have said, the youngster will more than likely be damaged by the callousness of, what we assume, is the mother. He will never know the tenderness of a loving mother.

That lack of tenderness will cause him to be detached from civilized behavior. That is why we have all these juveniles carjacking, murdering, their fellow humans. The color of skin doesn't matter.

I grew up in a small town and I saw plenty of horrible white parents do this.
I don't care what color the baby is, this is upsettingly negligent.

And as 10:43 said, this kid will have a mugshot soon. Never had a chance.

I am an expert on physical child abuse. This is what should have happened.
The police should have been called, after which they would call social services and remove the child from the mother. Bring the child to a hospital and check him/her out while social services inspects the home, social sitiuation, etc. That was physically dangerous for that child, simple.
God bless the woman who provided the clothes.

If the police don't come call the social services. If they don't come then call walmart security. If the mother gets violent, all the more reason to call the police.

If citizens can't protect a child in this obviously dangerous situation, what kind of society do we live in? Please don't say that Jackson sucks, the police stink, no money for protection. Get a grip folks. This dangerous situation was obvious.

At least she didn’t leave the child in the car or at home alone.

Where are all the leftist liberal Dems defending her rights to abuse and neglect her child? If she was killing him in her womb they’d be all over defending her rights to do so.

So the blacks in the store calling the cops are racists too? Why is this racist.

Anonymous said...

I think everyone may have missed the point (she may be more shrewd than we think): She got her child dressed, and it didn't cost her a dime! More money for iPhones, liquor, and weed! Who knows if she's crazy enough to have thought about that beforehand? Granted, she may have underestimated the LEVEL of concern from the other shoppers (may not have thought about being taken to jail), but if I had to guess, that's probably not the first time she's been there.

Ive only been in a Wal Mart a couple of times in my life, but as I recall, they are heated and cooled. Sam Walton was chosen by David Rockefeller to distribute cheap made-in-China goods and to de-industrialize the USA...so I've never shopped there.

Anonymous said...

Thanks, 1:22PM! I was going to ask, "Does Jackson even still HAVE a WalMart?"

As for the relative danger to the child: shivering in a diaper, as they used to say, "will have a salutary effect". That used to be said of circumcision, and, history considered, it may have been true.

The bullying experienced in Mississippi's lower-tier daycare centers, will be far worse than the effect of a touch of hypothermia. Sustained bullying, more than physical discomfort and the indifference of hoochiemama mamas, will be more likely to turn little boys into criminal sociopaths.

And the involvement of CPS (we're talking Mississippi, after all), is vastly more risky than is the haphazard care of an exceptionally-RANDOM Jackson mother, up twerkin' in the WalMart.

To relativize further, helicopter Mothering may actually be worse than what this kid is experiencing. For me, discovering a whole extended family of people who'd escaped Mississippi before I was born, meant discovering a world of cousins who'd been raised by a redundancy of servants (the Piedmont Atlantic Megaregion was as far as their gas money would get my uncles from Mississippi, which seems to have been fortuitous). Most of my cousins get well into their thirties, before they discover that, "the world is not THE MAID" (and that being passive and peevish, only works in a world where Daddikins has nannies working three shifts).

There is much to be said, for growing up with nobody hovering over you, every minute of the day.

Undeserving parents "play" their kids as miserable and needing charity. It's a form of begging.

1. I'm guessing that child is way beyond the age of diapers.

A good samaritan put a sweater on the child to cover his upper torso. Waist down, child had on one item - a diaper. Mother showed her appreciation by tossing bags of frozen vegetables at her child.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
