In the footage, the girl spiked bottles, stomped on products, and shattered bottles of sparkling grape juice, causing glass and liquid to scatter across the store. As the girl caused mayhem, an employee stood by helplessly. Meanwhile, a woman, believed to be her guardian, defended her behavior, saying, "You don’t know what she’s going through!"

The video quickly went viral, drawing fierce criticism from viewers. Many questioned the lack of discipline and accountability from the guardians, with some lamenting that 30 years ago, such behavior would have resulted in immediate consequences from parents or other adults. “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 commenter wrote. Others expressed frustration over what they saw as a sign of the times, with one lamenting, “Some kids never got their ass beat and it shows.”

While it’s unclear where the incident took place or if the guardians will be required to pay for the damages, the video has sparked a wider conversation about child discipline, societal responsibility, and the role of parents in managing their children’s behavior in public spaces. The footage continues to generate controversy as viewers weigh in on what should happen to both the child and the adults responsible for her actions.
