On September 13, 2002, a parking lot security camera caught 25-year-old "Madelyne Toogood" apparently beating her 4-year-old daughter Martha in a car that was parked outside of a department store in northern Indiana. However, local police were unable to identify Toogood as the woman seen on the film, so the tape of the incident was released to the media. Consequently, Toogood turned herself in to the authorities and was charged with felony child abuse. Meanwhile, the incident sparked widespread public condemnation of Toogood as well as widespread scrutiny of the Irish Travellers, the nomadic culture group to which Toogood belongs.
