The video of her allegedly attacking the toddler spread widely on social media before being deleted.
The 24-year-old Wisconsin woman allegedly pulled the child’s hair, according to gruesome footage posted online.
During her appearance via video conference, Natasha Hunt was charged with child abuse, willful bodily harm and disturbing the peace.
Her bond was set at $5,000 and she must meet several conditions before she returns to court on Sept. 18, including not having contact with her son unless accompanied by a social worker.
According to the complaint filed with police, the baby’s hair was pulled so hard that in addition to crying, he “moved his head in all directions.”
A 26-year-old woman, Amara Burns, is also facing charges for her complicity in the case, having filmed the horrific scene.
