Muchos han sido los que se han hecho eco de este vídeo. El motivo principal es poder identificar al agresor. Podría ser un hombre cualquiera que decidió hacerle mal a la niña, pero esa persona tenía un vínculo con ella que nadie podía sospechar. La niña es literalmente empujada por unas escaleras. Cae sin poder evitarlo hasta darse de lleno con el hormigón de la acera.
Podemos ver perfectamente como el hombre arrastra a la pequeña y la lanza para que caiga. El daño es irreparable, aunque la niña se levanta y empieza a llorar, el golpe ha sido considerable. Las personas que pasan por la calle se sorprenden de este hecho, pero ninguno se atreve a pararle los pies al hombre. Parece que no solo la lanza, también grita, causando cierto temor.
Después de identificar al sospechoso, se descubrió que no era una persona cualquiera. Se trataba del padre de la niña que decidió castigarla de esta brutal manera. Educar a los más pequeños de la casa no es excusa para un maltrato de estas características. La persona que difundió las imágenes consiguió que el padre fuera amonestado y la niña puesta a salvo. Un vídeo que nos demuestra alguna de las escenas más crueles que podemos ver en Facebook.
