Woman filmed hitting her daughter turns herself in

A US mother turned herself in to police to face a child battery charge, eight days after a nationally televised video-tape depicted her shaking, slapping and punching her four-year-old daughter in a store car park.

Madelyne Gorman Toogood, 26, of Mishawaka, Indiana, and her lawyer met police at an undisclosed location yesterday, Lieutenant Jeff Giannuzzi said.
