A Florida woman was arrested on Tuesday after she was allegedly filmed abusing her 3-year-old son.
A doorbell camera at a Sunny Isles condo reportedly caught the incident involving Yulia Storozhuk, 29, and her son. Police wrote in their report how Storozhuk kicked the victim twice, then grabbed him by the face and pushed him as he tried to get up, according to WTVJ.
A second surveillance video, taken 40 minutes after the first incident, reportedly showed Storozhuk pushing her son down again.

WTVJ reported that the victim suffered bruises on his forearm and knee, and had scratches on his stomach and back. The victim allegedly claimed Storozhuk had scratched him.
According to WTVJ, Storozhuk told detectives that she beat her son because he was not listening to her.
“It’s just – how can a mother do this? I mean, she’s a monster,” Sunny Isles Beach Police Chief Edward Santiago commented, per WSVN.
Storozhuk, who is charged with child abuse, is free on bond. She is currently barred from being around or speaking to her child.
