A Detroit mother on vacation thought she would simply walk away from the responsibility of parenting by abandoning her son on a beach in the early morning hours. Shamika Mitchell, left her 1-year-old son at a Florida beach on November 8, 2023, the State Attorney of Florida’s 7th Circuit claimed.
Surveillance video from the time showed Mitchell walking down the beach access staircase with her son in her arms, just before midnight. Five minutes later, she walked up those same steps alone.
