The officer then spoke to neighbors who showed him a video that they took of Mario holding the child under his right arm and using his left arm to keep Tania away. The video then showed Mario swinging the child around while trying to grab a set of keys from Tania’s hand. After a few moments, Mario was able to get the keys from Tania and let go of the child. Neighbors reported that after the video ended, Mario grabbed the child by his arm and twisted it behind his back, causing the child to cry out in pain.

Mario Moran was arrested and charged with child abuse of a child six years or younger. He is currently jailed in lieu of a $10,000 bond.
