“I was furious. My initial reaction was to come and snatch her head off her body."

The worker who recorded the incident can be heard laughing in the footage.

The video became a web sensation recently. However, according to the girl's mother, LaQuitta Wilson, the occurrence happened weeks prior.

"They had no apology," she said. "They had no reason they did not call me. Like I said, everything hit the fan and it's like they just had nothing to say."

In an interview with KCBD, Amyra's grandmother, Shanna Walker, said that before she showed up at the daycare to pick up the little girl, she already saw the video.

“I was furious. My initial reaction was to come and snatch her head off her body,” she said. “It’s very frightening."

Walker added that the workers there are “supposed to be people that are taking care of [the children] that has their well being at heart."

Meanwhile, Amyra's parents are ready to pursue legal action.

Amyra's father, Martreal Walker, said: "We want any legal action that can happen, any legal action that happened to her, like jail time."
