A disturbing incident left onlookers shocked when a woman was reported to have "forcefully" thrown her toddler to the ground at the Pittsburgh court building, allegedly following a parental argument. The violent dispute occurred midday at the Municipal Court Building on First Avenue, prompting an immediate response from Pittsburgh Police and the Allegheny County Sheriff's officers, as detailed in reports from WPXI.
The altercation between the disgruntled parents quickly escalated, culminating in the mother throwing her approximately eighteen-month-old daughter to the ground, and then she hastily exited the scene in her vehicle, an eye-opening sequence that unfolded around 12:30 pm. Pittsburgh EMS swiftly evaluated the young child, concluding thankfully that the child did not sustain injuries, while details were shared by Audacy.
As the proceedings of this event continued to unravel, Allegheny County Sheriff Kevin Kraus confirmed the woman's consequent detention. She was later identified as Shataiya Troutman, a 30-year-old resident of Pittsburgh. Troutman is facing serious charges, including aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of children, and recklessly endangering another person.
After the attack, the child was placed in the custody of her father, and it has been reported that the Children, Youth and Families agency was called to oversee the welfare of the toddler.
