A Florida mother, furious over spilled shampoo, is facing felony child neglect and abuse charges after allegedly pushing her 1-year-old daughter out of a moving car onto the asphalt in Hialeah. The incident, which took place on the night of September 5, has left witnesses horrified and added another legal issue to the mother’s troubling criminal history.
Incident Unfolds in Hialeah
The shocking event occurred around 8:30 p.m. near NW 37th Avenue and NW 54th Street. Tasshay Chelsea Mills, 29, allegedly flew into a rage after shampoo was spilled in the back seat of her 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. According to a woman inside the car, this anger caused Mills to hit her daughter before pushing her out of the vehicle and onto the road.
A nearby couple, driving behind Mills’ car, witnessed the horrific moment and immediately stopped to help. The 1-year-old girl was found bleeding from her head as concerned onlookers rushed to her aid.
One of the rescuers, a mother herself, later described the moment to reporters, saying she was “more in shock than anything.” She expressed gratitude that she and her boyfriend were there that night to help.
Erratic Behavior and Confrontation
After pushing her daughter from the car, Mills reportedly sped off, only to return moments later in a dramatic U-turn. Ring camera footage captured what happened next: Mills approached the woman who had rescued her child and forcibly took the baby from her arms.
In the video, the witness can be heard saying, “I’m not giving you this baby,” before Mills angrily declared, “That is my baby,” and snatched the child. The witness was left frantically calling for help, while her boyfriend shouted in disbelief, “The baby is all messed up. You’re trippin’, bruh.”
Arrest and Charges
Mills was soon apprehended by Miramar Police. In her statement to authorities, she claimed she did not push her daughter but had merely “removed” her to clean the seat. Despite her explanation, Mills now faces charges of felony neglect and abuse. She has since been released on a $7,500 bond but has been ordered to stay away from her child.
This case is not the first time Mills has been in trouble with the law. Court records reveal previous charges for theft, assault, and probation violations.
Court Date Set
Mills is scheduled for arraignment on October 10. Until then, the court has ordered her to remain separated from her child. The young girl, for now, is safe, thanks to the quick actions of bystanders who prevented further harm that night.
The case serves as a disturbing reminder of how a moment of anger can have far-reaching consequences, both for the child involved and the future legal battles that Mills will now face.
