On the video, Gaston stopped her assault on the dog, at one point, to go inside the home and escort her child to the front porch, instructing the child to kick the dog, police said.

Police had visited Gaston, who lives on the 500 block of Beaver Street in Lancaster, on Friday afternoon after someone complained that she had been kicking her dog, a young terrier on her front porch. Gaston told police that the dog bit her son, so she took it outside and hit it once on the head, police reported.
