Investigators with the Orange County Sheriff’s office are looking for a woman who was videotaped while abusing a child at Magical Carwash on Bloomfield Drive in Orlando.

The surveillance video shows a woman getting out of a white 4-door sedan, Hyundai Alantra. She put money into a washer machine, while another woman brought the girl out of the car. The girl is seen struggling to get away. One of the women held the high-pressure hose in one hand and sprayed the girl with it. Seeing the incident on the surveillance video, the car wash manager Marlene Diaz, immediately called the police. She ran out to rescue the girl, but the car had left.

Diaz told MyFOX Orlando about the harmful action of a high-pressure hose upon the skin: “It stings, it burns. I've heard stories where this type of pressure, it forms like a rug burn and can actually take off the top layer of the skin.”

She told the authorities that the woman was yelling at the child in Spanish saying, “You're not gonna disrespect me, don't worry I'm not gonna hit you. I'm just gonna get you with cold water, you're gonna learn to respect me. You're not gonna treat me bad.”

After applying the harsh punishment on the girl, the women took her wet clothes off, dressed her with dry ones and put her back in the car.

Orange County Sheriff's Office Cmdr. Matt Irwin said that "The girl probably had some kind of accident in the back seat of the car, maybe urinated or spilled a drink. God knows what kind of punishment she gets elsewhere.”

The video shows how the girl was sprayed on the chest, legs and face. The girl is believed to have between 3 and 6 years old. The investigators said the woman might be the girl’s mother. If found the mother is likely to face child abuse charges.
