A New Jersey woman was beaten in front of her toddler, and a crowd of people watched but did nothing to stop the attack according to KABC.

Cellphone video showed Catherine Ferreira falling to the ground, and then being kicked and pummeled on Tuesday night.

Her 2-year-old son kicks the woman in an attempt to get her to stop, but no one else tries to stop the attack.

"He wasn't afraid. He just wanted to defend his mom, so that's my world right there. I love that boy so much," Ferreira said.

Apparently the women knew each other and the woman who is being sought after was upset because Ferreira was spreading rumors according to sources.

Should the individuals who recorded the cell phone videos and those that did nothing to help this woman be charged as well?
