VIDEO: SHOCKING Footage of Woman Throwing Child on Train Tracks!

When people saw this video they were all shocked that a young woman could throw a child on the train tracks and didn’t understand why someone would do such a thing.
According to nj.com, the 20-year-old who allegedly threw a young girl onto train tracks here Friday has a years-long history of mental health issues — but has “never hurt anybody,” her mother says.
Autumn Matacchiera, 20, of Hainesport, has been charged with attempted murder following the incident that saw a 5-year-old girl thrown from a light rail platform on West Broad Street as a train approached.
“We as parents are thankful she’s okay,” an emotional Laura Matacchiera told NJ Advance Media on Sunday morning of the young girl who sustained a cut to her face and some bruising.
According to police, a Burlington City officer was stopped by an NJ Transit bus driver who reported Matacchiera apparently acting suspiciously near High and Broad streets. As police responded to the train platform, Matacchiera allegedly grabbed the girl and threw her onto the tracks as a train was approaching.
Police said officers jumped in front of the train to signal it to stop and the boyfriend of 5-year-old’s mother picked up the girl. Matacchiera, who was with her mother and her mother’s boyfriend at the time, was subdued and placed in custody, police said.
“She is not a criminal,” Laura Matacchiera said. “She has mental health issues. It’s an ongoing problem,” she said, adding that her daughter had resided in multiple mental health facilities — but has been repeatedly released despite objections from family.
According to an August 2016 report, Autumn Matacchiera went to the Chamberlain International School in Massachusetts, which came under fire for alleged neglect of special needs students.
“If it wasn’t for Chamberlain, I wouldn’t know where my daughter would be,” she told the Huffington Post.
According to the 20-year-old’s Facebook page, she assisted in 2016 with therapeutic horsemanship lessons at Moorestown’s Majoda Stables and left the Chamberlain school in 2012.
“I have been in the mental health system for many years and seen some things change, [some] things stay the same. I want to help other people who are in it,” the woman wrote on Jan. 12 in a personal online blog documenting her situation.
Laura Matacchiera said her daughter, whose condition she did not specify, had been “in and out” of mental health institutions for the past six years.
Autumn Matacchiera remains at Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County, in Willingboro. According to previous reports, she was taken there following Friday’s incident for a psychiatric evaluation. “We as parents are not making light of this,” Laura Matacchiera said.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened as in the past other women have thrown their own children on the tracks and have done even more horrible things even though they did not suffer from any form of mental illness. Some of them were only upset that their children weren’t listening to them and they couldn’t take it anymore.
