Streamer reportedly arrested for assault after child abuse clip goes viral A Twitch streamer under the username \u201cTTV_MajesticUnicorn\u201d sparked outrage across the net after appearing to \u201cbite and throw\u201d her toddler during a December 16 broadcast. Now, she has reportedly been arrested for the offense. According to a December 8 Facebook post from the Calgary Police Service, a woman has been identified and arrested following local law enforcement\u2019s investigation into the disturbing viral video. Their post states that the 31-year-old woman behind the clip has been charged with one count of assault, and is scheduled to appear in court on January 17, 2020. Her children have since been \u201ctaken to a safe location.\u201d The Calgary police likewise encouraged those who witness such violence online to report the matters to law enforcement, writing, \u201cIn this case, we were able to act swiftly to locate the children to ensure their wellbeing, thanks to those who quickly reported the video.\u201d While Canadian news outlet CTV News has reached out to \u201cMajesticUnicorn\u201d for comment without success, the streamer appeared to address the issue on her now-deactivated Twitter account prior to her arrest. \u201cSomeone has too much time on their hands and goes around being rude to people that she doesn\u2019t even know,\u201d the streamer wrote in response to a post identifying her from the clip. A description of the video claimed that MajesticUnicorn was upset with her toddler for interrupting her alleged \u201c8-hour Fortnite session,\u201d with the poster later confirming that the streamer\u2019s Twitch account had been permanently banned with help from a community partnerships officer. https:\/\/twitter.com\/vure89\/status\/1206726028753801216?s=20 Unsurprisingly, many viewers were shocked and appalled by the broadcast violence, with many calling for the aid of child protective services, among other organizations. Although Twitch has come under fire as of late for its divisive moderation decisions, the platform took swift action against this serious issue. This was a welcome development for the children involved, who, thanks to the concerns of viewers, are now out of harm\u2019s way. UPDATE: Clips have also surfaced showing the father of MajesticUnicorn\u2019s children (going by the username \u201cSlickgary\u201d) exhibiting similar behavior, with Twitter user \u201cMiltonTPike1\u201d claiming that they have gotten in touch with local authorities concerning the matter. The father\u2019s Twitch channel has also been suspended. https:\/\/twitter.com\/MiltonTPike1\/status\/1207381021349433345?s=20 Stay tuned to Dexerto for future updates on this story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
