A little girl in Houston was the victim of a robbery in broad daylight on Tuesday, when a stranger knocked her down and stole her iPad.
The 3-year-old was in a parking lot with her mother near their home when the incident occured.
Her mother, who spoke to KPRC-TV news but declined to be identified, said the robbery happened when a woman approached her daughter while she was momentarily preoccupied with her 9-month-old baby.
“When I turned around to grab the baby from the car seat, she came running forward to her and knocked her down — took her iPad,” the mother said.
She said she noticed the woman walking with a man from a neighboring apartment complex, and believes they were intentionally targeting her and her daughter.
“They were waiting for us . . . so they could, I guess, take the iPad,” she told the TV station.
The little girl was not injured in the incident but remains shaken up.
“What the hell? Why would you do that to a 3-year-old girl?” the mother said. “Get a job.”
"Who would do that to a little girl?" the child’s father Diego Morales reiterated.
I'm all right with people robbing each other but come on, have some respect for little girls, little babies,” he said. “Can't be out here stealing kids' stuff."
Police are reportedly still investigating the robbery.
