The family of a Mississippi woman arrested for child abuse after taking her toddler shopping at Walmart with only a diaper on during freezing temperatures said she is a good mom.
Kambria Gabrielle Darby, 26, was charged with child neglect after police received a call to the store around 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 17 and found the mother in the parking lot, according to WJTV.
Darby’s confrontation and rant inside the store went viral after the video was posted by a Walmart employee.
But Darby’s great-aunt, Marie Darby Pickens, 69, who lives in Jackson, Miss. where Kambria and many of her relatives reside, said she had never seen evidence of Kambria being a bad mother.
She also said she did not use drugs.
“Everything I’ve seen with her and the kids has been positive,” Pickens, a retired social worker, told The Post. “I don’t condone what was done and it was right to be reported but we don’t know both sides of the story. Sometimes kids can be difficult not wanting to put their clothes on, or taking them off and maybe she was in a rush to pick up some things.”
