A jaw-dropping video of a little girl wreaking havoc at a Walmart during an explosive temper tantrum has gone viral, leaving viewers stunned.
The girl is seen hurling items, breaking food packaging and smashing bottles with no parent or guardian in sight.
Flabbergasted bystanders and Walmart employees watched the little girl’s epic meltdown, before one person rushed to her defense, telling others: ‘You don’t know what she’s going through.’
Two women were seen trying to physically stop the girl but when the child went on the floor and started kicking, they gave up.
After she stood back up, the girl continued stomping on and flinging items ranging from dairy goods to Little Debbie snack cakes.
One shopper asked who the girl was with and where they were while another ordered onlookers not to touch her or try to intervene.
As a larger crowd began to form around the child, more witnesses tried to speak to her and make her stop, but she only intensified her angry fit.
The final straw was when she started smashing bottles of sparkling juice onto the floor, causing red liquid to spill out and glass shards to shatter across the floor.
One woman appeared to be defending the girl, yelling at people who were recording: ‘Don’t record her, you don’t know what she’s going through!
‘Don’t do that to a little girl!’
One man was seen trying to stop her from grabbing any more bottles before the video ended.
It is unclear where and when this incident occurred, but it began circulating online on Monday.
Viewers generally expressed outrage and disappointment with the little girl’s parents or caregivers, blaming them for her actions.
‘There’s no justification for allowing your child to run rampant and destroy products in a store. This isn’t a place to hold a therapy session,’ one person reacted.
‘Children acting this way are often testing their caregivers to see if they care enough to exercise some authority, control, and structure,’ someone said, analyzing the child’s behavior.
‘The long pattern of intellectual and emotional neglect is often evident when a child acts this way.’
But other users did not see a child who was crying for attention – but simply a misbehaved one.
Someone chimed in: ‘That parent or grandparent should have to pay for every single item after Walmart presses charges for destruction of property.
‘There was nothing wrong with that girl other than that she knew she would get away with it. People have overused the mental health excuse.’
The true reasoning behind her actions is unknown.
Walmart stores have become notorious for extreme costumer freak-outs.
Last year, for example, a video of another little girl destroying potted plants in the entrance of a North Carolina Walmart caught the attention of millions.
This video warranted similar reactions to Monday’s meltdown.
‘I get that the child was hurting but the way she was acting was uncalled for,’ someone commented on a TikTok of the catastrophe.
In 2022, for example, a Florida woman threw a hissy fit inside a Walmart after trying to steal a shopping cart full of groceries.
She claimed she had an employee discount.
When she got caught trying to rob the store, the woman went berserk – hurling a Barbie doll at one of the staff members and hitting her in the face.
