Yulia Storozhuk was arrested on October 31st after her neighbor's Ring camera captured her ruthlessly abusing her three-year-old son. The video showed her throwing the child around and kicking him repeatedly. She has been charged with two counts of child abuse, and the Department of Children and Families is investigating the incident.
The attack was captured on two separate videos, taken more than half an hour apart. The second video showed Storozhuk pushing her son in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground. When investigators examined the boy, they found redness on his cheek and forehead, as well as bruises on his right forearm and left knee.
When she appeared in bond court, Storozhuk attempted to convince the judge that her actions were a one-time occurrence, saying, "I am very sorry, I am a single mom and it was only one incident where I let my emotions get the best of me. I'm so sorry, I won't do this anymore."
The woman was released on a $5,000 bond and will be arraigned in 30 days. However, many people have noticed the stark contrast between how Storozhuk was treated compared to other cases. As one user commented under a video posted about the incident, "If it was a Black mother she'd STILL be in jail with a Million dollar bond." Others pointed out that this type of abuse is often not a one-time occurrence, with one user saying, "He was terrified to even walk towards her in the beginning of the video, this isn't her first time."
These comments emphasize the need for greater understanding of systemic issues that lead to such brutal abuse, as well as harsher punishments for those who perpetrate it.
