Monster mommy: Woman brutally beats 6yo in bank card rage, flings several feet away (GRAPHIC VIDEO)

Social media is aghast over a recent video of a Russian woman brutally beating her little son after she checked her bank account. The mother throws the boy to the floor, then kicks him in the stomach. Outside, she hurls him into the snow.

The shocking incident took place in the town of Labytnangi, in the northern Urals, in November 2015, but the video was only released on social networks only Wednesday.

The footage captures a woman, later identified by the local media as 35-year-old Zhanna Voytishek, arriving at a shop, reportedly to withdraw money from a cash machine.

However, after supposedly not finding the expected sum of money, the furious mother directed her anger towards the child. She clipped the boy on the head, throwing him to the ground apparently with all her might. Then she delivered a kick for good measure.

When other customers tried to intervene, the woman grabbed her son and left the shop. Outside footage then shows her picking him by the midriff of his coat and flinging him several feet into the snow in the direction of the road. She then turns and moves away without even looking back at her child. A passerby rushes to attend to the little boy.

The video’s emergence on the VKontakte (In Contact) social network prompted Russian law enforcement services to announce an investigation into the case.

Later Russian media reported that the fit of rage was because the child’s welfare payment – 2,000 rubles ($25) — hadn’t yet been deposited into the bank account. According to LifeNews, the woman has a psychiatric disorder and has not let her son attend kindergarten.

However, Russian Children’s Rights Ombudsman Pavel Astakhov said the boy won’t be taken away by the social services as he has a father who lives separately, according to local media reports.
