A 23-year-old man who was caught on surveillance video punching his young son in the face is being held on $1 million bond.
Justin Whittington was arrested early Friday morning after the owner of Vest Market in Bakersfield uploaded the shocking video to Facebook.com on Thursday.
“That was horrible, man,” store owner Harry Dindral told the NY Daily News. “The worst thing I’ve ever seen.”
Dindral said he didn’t witness the child abuse in his store. He said an employee ran into the back room where he was working and told him to view the video of the incident.
Whittington is being held in Kern County jail on a charge of felony assault of a child. His first hearing is on Monday, April 13.
The shocking video shows Whittington chasing his son inside the supermarket and then punching the boy in the face.
He then picked the boy up off the floor and shoved him toward his heavily pregnant mother.
The child is seen holding his face and bawling as the mother walked him out of the store.
Police tracked down Whittington at his home after the video went viral online.
The boy was evaluated by medical professionals and he was determined to have no injuries.
He was left at the Whittington home in the care of his mother, Crystal Rhoden Whittington.
Outraged Facebook users flooded the couple’s social media pages with comments. Crystal Whittington left a message of support for her locked up husband on the couple’s joint Facebook page (see above).
In one Facebook post — which she later deleted — she wrote, “The police want to interview me… Funny, I didn’t even remember applying for a job there!”
More from Sandrarose.com:
Glad he’s caught. & the bytch making jokes.
fawk him fawk her & I hope they take both children away from her dumb ass
What a pig!!! I’m so glad they put his violent behind away. Just awful!
Wow….she really got jokes?
@Blanche…you can do it. Mind over matter.
Oh..@MisU the hubby said the same thing about her getting it from me…it may be true, but I sure wished it would have held off a little longer.
Nigga please
Sandra know she be dramatic with the write ups
gn guys 
Good morning SR and Roses
He stupid.
She dumb as fuqq.
I guess she and her kids applied at AssWhoopings R’ Us. Dumb ho.
ION think anything would be wrong for her to be slapped real real hard on her face, both sides, TWICE, while she sitting down, so they don’t harm her unborn baby
GM SR and others that comes afta.
@DTS- whet u doing up :wait:
(Listerine/colgate
Thank u Jesus for that bond, and she has the reaction of a typical woman who is in a abusive relationship, and they should not have left him with her ass either.
thanks for the late evening posts
Good morning ya’ll
@KIMI
STOP BLOWING YOUR BREFF IN MY FACE MESSING UP MY IMMUNE SYSTEM
This is Sad, there were two incidents in the store?
One shows hm being punched..
Then the other shows him being hemmed up.
Good Morning All! :wave:
another thing… They left the child w/her unfit ass!??
She clearly is NOT caring/protecting him.
Sandra et ALL did ya see the arrest of Sefolosha and his teammate?
they roughed up Sefolosha six NYPD officers are pulling at him, he got hit w/the baton BROKE his fibula…
But his Teammate ANTIC was sitting on the curb being talked too.
Shyte is A Shame. I hope Sefolosha SUES they ass!
They left the child w/her unfit ass
———————————————————————
I just said the same thang, GM LuVn
“They” r saying that Tasia’ and her “life coach” hadn’t filed any marriage certificate
them was her rings that she bought just like somebody said on here,
Fawk this sprite trash
If you can’t handle kids…don’t have em. Simple. Mama prolly home RIGHT NAH beating the baby because “he got her man locked up”
@zeta
I knew they wasn’t married
I think I asked y’all but idk.
Do y’all think spiritual marriages count? Officiated just not legal? Why and why not?
zeta
blanche 
Blanche a spiritual marriage is one where a marital vow is taken in the name of Jesus. #Amen. Anything else is just shacking up & playing pretend
Morting Roses
Here come her “I got all the answers azz” OH!!! hey there @MISU
@BD
u finna get “murried???”
I guess Tasia had one of the Joseline & Stebbie unions, tay-tay need to do like I did and just take a year off from dating and find her DAMNSELF!!!
@Zeta
in your right :boob:
@Zeta
in your right 
Luvie
And @MisU so was kimora married or nah
her and dijmon took vows.
@zeta
quiet as its kept I wish I could meet somebody else ….bout to make me a POF account 
Poor Fannypack she reminds me of my 3rd cousin from my 2nd aunt on my 1st grandaddy side, she can’t be alone. She just wants to be with someone who loves her unconditionally but keep getting busters. Like KimK did, she needs to find a man infatuated with her. She needs ilyana
(girl MRZ done almost “destroyed” them this morning before he left for Drill so just slap me on my
real hard and rub 
what plans do you have for the kiddies today???
Blanche I thought I read Kimora & Djimon, his fine ass was on fast furious 7, took vows in his homeland but not in US. No?
@BD HELL TO THE NAWL, just like Eddie Murphy/whatshername wasn’t either.
*rubbing Zeta tooshie* we’re going to Baltimore aquarium in a few. Girls are busy doing each other hair & the boys watching wrestling.
Eddie & Nicole weren’t married?
neva heard that
@BLANCE “commere and sit on my lap” it’s gonna be okay, just remember YOUR VALUE AS A WOMAN!!!
@MISU
remember when Eddie was dating TRACI EDMONDS (just remembered)
Takes Blanche
away not POF they are sickos on there
@MisU i can’t remember
maybe. I get all these folks mixed up. I guess my point is…if you get officiated by a REAL minister, take vows in the name of the Lordt 
but don’t file the paperwork. Do you think God considers that marriage?
Eddie & Traci or Eddie & Nicole or Eddie & Halle or Eddie & robin? I’m so confused
BRB let me go and check on these “scapers” and see do I have to go back into my Army days,
Good ques-ti-on Blanche idk. But if you do all that why not file?
@BD (not to get deep) but in biblical times, nobody went before any judges and that was fine, BUT we have to follow “manmade” Laws which says “show me the paperwork”
Blanche 6 got honor roll again
2nd grade reading level and excellence in Spanish 
I’m doing something right. She thinks I’m hard on her. I make her read ME bedtime stories. Gotta build the foundation.
and also @Blanche that’s why some states recognize “common law marriages” and some don’t it depends on the state
I wanted to her yalls opinions. I got mixed responses from people on the topic. One person said they would not get married for financial reasons aka your debt is my debt.
@zeta she loves school. I’m trying to get it across to her how that being smart is cool and is a good thing.

So true. I ran into a girl from high school that I didn’t know was gay. I figured it out after she kept calling the girl she was with her “sister” and they didn’t get the lie straight as to whether they were kin on the moms side or dad’s side. It didn’t matter to me. I was still trying my best to get them both hired where I worked since they were from the hometown.
She came to my job and I thought I was being polite, answering all her questions then out the blue she got loud and asked was I going to the gay parade. My coworker heard it and walked off so she thinking I’m a dyke because of this girl. I was so mad I called my gay relative, dude that brought her around and told him what happened. He was pissed and asked why she did that. Her response was she thought I wasn’t paying attention to her.
To this day, I don’t mingle with lesbians.
YESS!!!! that was me in school because I had such a “bubbly personality” and joked I didn’t want people to know I was a bookworm (I have a bougie side/ghetto side according to MRZ) BUT I loved school!! and with Z20 I had him in daycare from 6months) until school age and the daycare he was in they didn’t “babysit” that child new all kinds of stuff, they wanted to skip him when he was in 2nd grade but we didn’t let them (don’t ask me why) but like you say A GOOD FOUNDATION is what it’s all abt, because if the “foundation is weak, the building will fall” and I can tell by your fonts that Blanche6 is standing on a GOOD STRUDY FOUNDATION
(sorry I’m long winded this morning
*sturdy*
To this day, I don’t mingle with lesbians
——————————————————-
ok Rosays I getting ready to go run a few errands (after these folks leave)
MY BACKYARD IS GOING TO BE “BEAUTIFUL” TUJ for your many, many BLESSINGS!!!
it’s abt 70 now and the trees are beautiful/ everybody grass all green and purty I love this country setting,
Bye zeta
. Oh yeah, I know this gone sound weird but I believe I saw that same girl on that catfish show. I wanted to comment when Sandra did the recaps but i didn’t know how to explain it. I know the show is fake but she happened to live in the city where it was filmed so maybe she signed up to be an actress or something. I got mad all over again when I saw it.
this woman is a fool. u let this man pummel your child. then drag yourself to the FB to brag about NOT wanting to cooperate w/law enforcement
. bird brain
ppl with joint social media accounts are always crazy. always.
is that a tattoo on his head and a “i ran out of money so i can’t get this filled in but just do the outline til my check come on the 15th” one on his belly?
yep its confirmed. duke is nutso trailer trash.
as SR would say, look at they body language. he got the baby in a “Jay and Bey” headlock right there for all to see.
i was trying not to watch the video but the news showed him mollywhopping that baby
truly shameful. I shed a tear when the reporter said he was knocked out cold.
welp lunch is done. time for my swim lesson.
Hello Roses
This guy is a complete POS and so is the mother. It’s a beautiful day, it’s been a wonderful week. How is everyone? Headed to do some food shopping and get ready for my Game Of Thrones premiere gathering tomorrow 
Zeta beta we need those man made laws for life insurance purposes
User
go on now 
just keep swimming, just keep swimming 
Happy Saturday!! Gone enjoy this beautiful day. Irritated, but gone pray and release it!
Hey yall I needed a mental day to get my composure before I lost my job. Had this dude say the most racist and degrading things to me and I was so pissed cause I couldn’t respond or else I lost my job. However I got some vindication yesterday cause him boo thang wants him gone and now I have no problem filing every report I can to make that happen
kids don’t need to be having kids! which is what has happened in this case. that so called dad has no self control, is immature and less than pond scum for what he did and has obviously been doing for a long time to that child! I wish that folks would form a rally outside of that jailhouse to let him know he is disliked to the tenth power! freaking pos!
They need to lock up the ignorant mother. how did they let that baby go with her when obviously she is just as violent by supporting him. so sad for kids these days.
I like the same way you brush ya hair…I like the stylish clothes you wear…ooooooo and I like it
Hey sexy Roses!!
I finally found a good wifi signal that lets me get on.
I’m still keeping the faith 
I want to be there to hold his hand. 
Hope you guys are being good. I don’t even want to check the files from the last few days. I know ya’ll was prob cutting up something terrible 
I’m having and ok time in Jamaica BUT I got the news that I didn’t want to hear from my parents. My dad got the call to hein standby for an organ transplant. The organ wasn’t good which makes me happy and sad. Happy because it’s not happening while I can’t get to him but sad because that means more waiting
Memphitz lost that defamation suit against K, Satan Scott Young and Viacom
admitted to smothering her, threatening to kill her son…
Some folks owe K an apology
and I don’t even like her.
Obama is live on CNN rite now
Blanche not I…. she been singing bout that ads kicking since 2008 shid…
she still ain’t shyt though 
Bye!
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday
I believed K !
@Jenie I think Tamar does and any of Toyas other friends who stuck their noses where they didn’t belong and called her a flat out liar. K is crazy…this is true…but that doesn’t make her a liar. He should have to give her her money back that he spent on jewelry too.
I believed her too…she really had no reason to lie
Petty
hope you found a BBD to enjoy in Jamaica Mun. Daddy Petty will not have to wait long, we declare it.
@Sassy, what he say? Is he still alive? Do you need an alibi?
Anybody watching the Mary Kay Latourneau/Vili interview?
he still seems to be uncertain about the events in his life, and she still seems to be lil bit ‘baby jane-ish’ in her perception of reality 
only sympathy (for him) 
My impression? Everybody in this kid’s life (while he was a child) failed him.
Absolutely no judgment here
I didn’t watch it, not going to give that pedophile any attention. She was a grown woman who went after a child who needed guidance. His mother is foul too. From the clip I saw in a preview, he seems slow, even as an adult. Wonder if he gets a check.
MisU, you’re a professional with some real life perspective. I’m just a soft-hearted layman, but there is NOTHING ‘normal’ about what happened to that CHILD 17 years ago
help me understand …
If this had been my nephew, I honestly don’t see my family just letting this situation play out

She may be a liar of many things… but she damn sure ain’t a liar bout that
Now as for Tamar 
can’t stomach her either … and I’m not to fond of Toya 
but regardless …. Tamar and Toya had no right to do that …. Toya set herself up for failure with that BS !!!!
Nancy Drew Wears Prada

I saw a snippet of the interiview on entertainment tonight…. she is sick
JENIE! Have I told you lately that I love you!
I agree; she on some real b.s.! (And his mama should have, at least, threatened to kick her pedophile arse! 
)
Nancy I can’t explain her perversion. She’s a sociopath who honestly doesn’t think she did anything wrong. She’s a sick bytch just like Jenie said.
Okay then, MisU
she a predatory selfish bish 
Love you too Nancy
Please pray for me. I’m such a wreck. They have another kidney for my dad that might go tomorrow. There’s nothing I can do now from here and it’s driving me insane. I’ve done broke down a million times. Prayerfully if it’s a go, I’ll get home by the time he comes out.
I think God planned it this way on purpose. He knew that I was gonna be sitting right in his OR room monitoring everything.
…. I feel so helpless right now
Father God we ask you to cover our sister Petty at this time. Please bless her with peace & understanding so she can have a restful mind. Protect her during her travels so she can reach her father at your precise moment. Please send your angels to Father Petty tomorrow so they can guide the doctor’s hands during the operating. Provide the doctor’s with focus, clarity, ease & the ability to complete everything the was Petty would if she were present. Remind us Lord that all is done in Your time & strengthen our faith in You. We humbly ask this in Your precious name.
Petty
all will be well. Know this.
Amen and Thanks MisU
Petty I will
GoodMorning Sandra, Roses, thorns & lurkers :wave:

Amen To MsUnderstandings pray.
Lil1, GOD knows what HE is doing dear!
You must trust and believe that. GOD doesn’t want you worrying 
HE got this 
This, too will pass
When you worry it’s like you aren’t trusting that HE knows best
I know we are human and you are there when you wish you were with him and your Mom. Pray

Why my sister & SILs call me telling me to bring their children home rit naw because they miss them? Why can’t we enjoy the late checkout & inner harbor? :eyeroll:
@MissyJ
only lawyer riding shotgun, remaining entourage betta find their way there huh?
I got a broke azz neighbor story to tell y’all on this fine Sunday
So yesterday I’m taking out the trash…I open my door and standing on my porch, the dark skinned neighbor who I thought moved out. So she has some dude messing with the utility box. She proceeds to tell me she’s having him turn on the power illegally bc their lights are cut off and they can’t pay til next week. Then begs me not to tell on them
Now…should I tell the power company, police or the landlord or should I let it ride?
that toddler beater got out of jail yesterday yall on a reduced bail?? really??
@Blanche as long as they not piggy backing on yours keep it to yourself.
Blanche- she got kids?
Blanche, is she connecting it to yours? If not, do you really care? But we all know she’s not paying that bill until the power company finds out. IJS
@Simple bet you his dumb wife bailed him out & let him in the home with the abused son. Hope CPS takes the child.
I’d let somebody know… If she’d steal power, she’d steal from you
gotta go 
She can call HEAP, set up a payment plan, get it in her cousin name.. She got options
@Blanche is you here?? Read downstairs you not drinking for a month?? Imma try to ride with you :fistbump: I was supposed to have chilled out after my birthday but I didn’t
That’s what I’m concerned about idk if they were tinkering with the power tryna bootleg off my chit but idk. Her kids don’t live their but the gfs do. Idk they kill me BC y’all still stay smoking weed and this and that but don’t pay your bills which is why my sympathy is low. And Missy girl I’m holding off til may 16th at least…I gotta chill for a minute. I made it one whole weekend
If my bill comes back higher imma flip out. Believe that chit. They will be getting evicted. Promise that. We work hard to pay the bills. Get some motivation about yourself and stop freeloading
iont like people like them.
@Blanche me too! I stayed my behind in the tho
@Blanche can you call your power company & ask them if they see an increase on their end in about a week or so?
@Missy i usually hit the likka store when I get off on Friday…we pulled right past
it’s not that bad tho…I just miss my bad 1800 :crying1: I’m tryna adjust my habits though and drinking is not helping my waistline…
@MisU I will. If I do
they are the reason I won’t be renewing my lease. Not in this unit anyway 
shame BC I like my place but fawk em. I’m getting a single house next time and won’t be moving again until I purchase or relocate.
My heart and tears can’t thank you guys enough!! I love you Roses
today has been a waiting game and my mom JUST called me to say they gave it to someone else. I’m happy sad. Sad because he’s still waiting and selfishly happy because it gives me more time to get to him (I couldn’t fly out today). I’m still keeping the faith, God knows I am. Everyone’s calming back down and doing better now and both of my parents seem relieved that it’s not taking place either. And I’m sooooo thankful that I have real life friends that have been standing in the gap and checking on them for me too.
The friend that I’m here with lost here father last May so this is bring back emotions/memories.
Sooooooo, now that I’m going to have this high azz phone bill I guess I have to get some pointers from ya’ll on how to duty wine and get all nasty on the flo’
Petty on God’s timing, all will work out. Ain’t nothing to dutty wine, just move them hips like you are getting plowed goodt!
@TM. enjoy your vacay!!! GOD GOT YOUR DADDY
@MISU. girl I done got full in here over that prayer (real talk)
I’m praying for your dad’s speedy recovery, Petty.
@Auntie..sooo NICE that you take an interest in your readers lives.
Ummm..I logged in ‘P’ciffically to say..that I went to Justin & Crystals FB page..I was bout to leave a mite-eee
post…and this GOAT LICKIN HEFFAAAA…posted THIS fock bs meme on their “joint” page:
“The difference between you and me is that I’m built for this sh!t!
I’ve conquered my demons. I’ve been broke, paid, lied to, taken advantage of, cheated, hungry and full. My name has been dragged through the mud more than once and every time I pick it up and wash it off! That’s why I’m self made! I came a long way and still have a long way to go!
And you should see their “Friends” pics.
Looks like a veritable who’s who from “Siblings Who Marry and Pro-create!”
This constipated cow apparently sees NOTHING wrong..with what this rancid piece of baboon dookey..did to her child. This won’t be the last time this “family” is in the news. Trust!!
OAN @Petty…my
goes out to you and your family!
everything works out..and it will. God IS ABLE!!
