The woman wanted for pummeling a New Jersey woman in front of her 2-year-old son surrendered to authorities on Monday.
Latia Harris, 25, was planning to turn herself in nearly a week after she viciously attacked Catherine Ferreira behind a McDonalds in Salem on June 24, WTXF-TV reported.

A video of the brutal beatdown which was recorded by bystanders shows only Ferreiras son, Xzavion Ortiz, trying to intervene by bravely kicking at Harris.

(14,549 posts)No one tried to talk any sense to her? No one was concerned with the child, the mother, OR the attacker who lost her job and who will rightfully go to prison for this. They were concerned only with getting the whole beat down on tape and then putting it on YouTube ASAP.
If you know a beat down is about to happen and you shoot the video the you are not as this article describes them "bystanders." We are all in this mess together and we should try to be more than just a sadistic cameraman in these situations. No one is a bystander in their own life or community.
