This happened back in 2023 at Flagler Beach, Florida, and it’s still one of the most infuriating public freakouts.
Amanda Hopkins was caught by a crowd of bystanders screaming at her young daughter for nearly 20 minutes. Witnesses reported she was grabbing the girl by the hair and kicking her. When the deputies arrived, they found her intoxicated with Twisted Teas in her car.
The best part of the video is watching her realize that “being the parent” doesn’t give her a pass to brutalize a child in front of an entire beach full of witnesses. She was hit with a felony child abuse charge on the spot.
