Fla. Mom Charged After Using Car Wash Hose On Tot

Woman Was Caught On Surveillance Tape Spraying 2-Year-Old

ORLANDO, Fla. (CBS) ― Florida authorities arrested a mother on Friday after she was caught on surveillance tape spraying her two-year-old daughter with a high-pressure water hose at a car wash in Orlando.

Deputies said that Niurka Ramirez was charged with child abuse for trying to discipline her daughter, who was throwing a temper tantrum.

Ramirez told authorities she did not use the high-pressure feature on the hose when spraying the child.


She was released from jail Saturday after posting $1,000 bail. Jail records do not list an attorney.


A nurse reported the girl had no visible injuries during an examination, which was conducted eleven days after the incident.
