[WATCH] Jealous girlfriend, 28, knocks out a 12-year girl
Shocking video shows the moment that a 28-year-old woman shoved a 12-year-old girl to the ground when the woman's boyfriend tried to chat the minor up.
The incident happened outside a convenience store in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on May 28.
Surveillance footage from the store shows the girl, identified as Presley Keeney, standing outside waiting for her dad to finish paying for some drinks.
The couple are also waiting outside the door and soon leave with two other friends.
However, something causes the man to turn around and head back towards the entrance of the door.
The woman, identified as 28-year-old Marlenea Uravage, turns to follow him, changes her mind, and then finally is seen running back in his direction.
Meanwhile, the man is seen approaching Presley and asking her a question.
She says that he asked her 'Could I have a piece of that?' - and she thought he was talking about the Slim Jim she was eating. Thinking he was hungry, she reached into her bag to give him another Slim Jim that she bought.
That's when Uravage approaches from behind and then angrily pushes her boyfriend into the parking lot.
She then turns and shoves Presley to the ground. The couple are then seen fleeing the scene, the boyfriend first and then Uravage following behind.
Presley's father saw her daughter's hat fly into the air so he rushes outside to check on her.
He looks around the corner to see if the couple is still there, but they have already turned down the road. He then goes to comfort his daughter by giving her a hug.
Presley's mother Chere Fuller says police came and took a report but failed to get the surveillance footage from the store, so she took the next day off from her nursing job and went to the store and got the footage herself.
She then handed the footage over to local news station WBRE which aired the footage in hopes of tracking down Uravage.
Soon after, Fuller got a message from Uravage's brother, Steven, identifying her.
'He sent me a message and said, "I know who that is." He said, "I am so sorry." I was very grateful for that. It must have taken him a lot to say that was his sister,” Fuller told the Times Tribune.
Fuller says she's troubled by what happened to her daughter, in more ways than one.
'She thought the man was hungry. Because she’s 12, she has an innocent mind. He walked over and said, "Could I get a piece of that?" And I’m not sure he was talking about her food,' Fuller recalled.
'Who would be jealous of a 12-year-old girl?' Fuller said of Uravage.
Authorities say they plan to charge Uravage with harassment. However, she remains at large.
