A man who was caught on camera hitting
  a three-year-old boy to the ground inside a
  supermarket during a sickening incident
  has been released on bail.
  Justin Whittington, 23, was arrested on
  Friday and charged with child
  endangerment after he hit the child –
  believed to be his son – in the face so hard
  that he fell back on the floor.
  He was filmed by CCTV chasing the boy
  through the shop on Thursday. When the
  toddler stopped and raised his arms,
  Whittington lunges forward and appears to
  punch him. He then drags him to his feet
  by his top and then pushes him away.
A pregnant woman – believed to be the
  child's mother and Whittington's partner
  Crystal – takes the hand of the crying boy,
  who holds the other to his hurt face, and
  walks out of the supermarket while
  Whittington heads in the other direction.
  Whittington walks away while the boy
  cries and holds his face
  Whittington, from Bakersfield in
  California, was released on bail today after
  it had dropped from $1 million to $20,000.
  The child was checked over by paramedics
  soon after the violent incident and was
  deemed not to need hospital attention.
