A woman who was caught on tape spraying a young girl with a Florida car wash's pressure washer turned herself in to police Thursday, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

Police had issued a call to the community for help in identifying the woman and the child, but the woman came forward on her own in response to media coverage.

The girl has been examined by a public health nurse and found to have no visible injuries. The girl hasn't been removed from her residence, but that could change as the child abuse detectives with the Orange County Sheriff's Office continue their investigation.

The department is keeping identifying details confidential because it is a child abuse case.

The car was surveillance tape shows the woman getting out of a white Hyundai Elantra and putting money into a pressure washer. Another woman is seen bringing a girl out of the car. As the child tries to get away, one of the women sprays her with the high-pressure hose.

Car wash manager Marlene Diaz says that she called authorities immediately upon seeing what was happening on surveillance video. When she ran out to help the child the car had already left.

I can’t believe what I saw on this video! These women should be arrested and charged, then hung by their toes!

What kind of sane mother would put a car wash wand to a 2 year old? A child, no less. A defenseless child. She is grabbing her and holding her and putting a car wash wand to her face and body!!!!. Is this sane? Is this normal? Is this the right thing to do to a 2 year old???
This woman, a.k.a. mother, is not the least bit bothered by the fact she is abusing her 2 year old child. What does this say? It says she has no conscience. She has no feeling for the child. She would kill a cat or a dog and for a child it getss a dose at a car wash. Where did she ever get the idea? And then to carry it through is just unthinkable. And the other woman who was with her. Not to stop the abuse. She is just as bad.

Is there anyone out there to start a society called: “TAP”. “Toddlers against Parents”.
We need something or some society to help protect these tots against parents who obviously can’t handle their own children...DSS can’t do it all.
