“Bad Parenting?”: A Video of Three Female Minors Arrested Inside of a Baltimore Target Is Going Viral on X

Another heartbreaking video on X is going viral showing three female minors being arrested for vandalizing a Target in Baltimore. The oldest of these girls doesn't appear to be a day over 15, and they're all being dragged away by police officers in handcuffs. There is nothing glorious about this behavior, and even the woman recording the video seems to be in shock by the sight of it.

The video, reshared by X user @ImMeme0, has climbed to over 1 million views. Why does this sort of negativity always seem to spread like wildfire on social media? The 27-second video begins with a woman recording the arrest of three female minors by two police offers in the distance.

One of the girls, who appeared to be the youngest, can be heard screaming profanities at the officer, while demanding them to, "Get the f**k off me."

The woman behind filming the incident seems to be in disbelief as she walked toward to scene and said, "Look at this. Y'all kids is bad." It's obvious that she is devastated by what she's seeing, as the youngest girl doesn't even appear to be 10 years old.

The youngest of the bunch sits herself on the floor and refuses to get up. She then slaps away the officer's hand while threatening to get her brother to shoot the woman who was filming. And if that wasn't bad enough, she finally gets off the floor and lunges at her! Meanwhile, the two male officers making the arrest are being extremely patient with them.

Should Bad Parenting be To Blame for These Three Female Minors Being Arrested?

While the youngest girl is being held back from attacking the lady with the camera, one of the other girls said, "Bro, tell that lady get that camera out of our face." As if the cameras inside of the Target weren't recording them the entire time.

One of the first X users to comment under the video wrote, "To those wondering, yes, it is that bad here. The kids are disgusting." Another commenter wrote, "Minors? These are just babies. This is sad! This is probably a 'lead by example' kind'a thing."

One commenter added, "They only have kids for money. They do not have them to raise them. More kids means more benefits!! Notice how many have three kids no more no less. Because that is the limit on income tax earned income credit. Want 10k extra a year have three kids."

Frolo Financials backed up those claims, stating that single parents in the USA can apply for financial benefits using Child Tax Credit (CTC). Under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, single parents are eligible to receive up to $3,600 per child under the age of six and up to $3,000 per child between the ages of six and seven. That adds up to about $10,000, or more, depending on the age of the child.

Definitely, if parents are birthing children into this world for a check with no intent on raising them properly, the examples in the video would be a product of such negligence.
