Video: Shoplifting Mom Abandons Her Baby At Walmart

A woman and her sister were caught shoplifting in an Ocala, Florida Walmart.  As they were exiting the store, a loss-prevention worker stopped the women who were pushing a one-year-old in the shopping cart.

As the loss-prevention employee confronts the mother of the child, the mom takes off, leaving her baby behind in the cart.  The woman’s sister also takes off.  The two run to a van and drive away, leaving the baby at Walmart.

Police tracked the women down a day later.  It turns out the mom took off because she was on probation and fearful of being sent to prison.

The baby is now in the state’s custody.
