Miami Gardens mother arrested after video appears to show her abusing 3-year-old daughter
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – A Miami Gardens woman accused of beating her 3-year-old daughter with a clothes hanger in an incident caught on video is now facing criminal charges.
Aaliyah Shantrelle Herring, 25, was arrested on charges of child abuse and neglect on Monday, online records show.
The video was taken by a man the woman identified as the child’s father.
In the video, the mother, appearing to be filled with rage and holding a clothes hanger, is seen moving toward her daughter, who was heard crying in the background.
“You want to sit down and lay down and have a [expletive] baby and not be able to take care of it after you know my [expletive] health conditions?” The mother was heard asking the father in the video.
Miami Gardens police said the video shows the woman “repeatedly beating a young child,” with an agency sergeant telling Local 10 News, “It was very, very hard for us to watch.”
Police said she was Baker Acted.
According to an arrest report, Herring claimed in a police interview Monday that she was disciplining her child for “throwing a remote at her.”
Herring was booked into Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and was being held on a $7,500 bond as of Tuesday afternoon.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
