According to Makalya, the woman gave her siblings a kiss, forcing her grandmother to move the family to another table.
Moments later, as shown in CCTV footage obtained by Lawton Police, the woman grabbed Makayla's two-year-old brother, Brett, forcing Makayla to pull her sibling back.
Makayla told : "She was saying my brother was her baby, and I was just yelling back at her saying, 'That's not her baby, that's my brother.'"
The reaction caught the attention of restaurant employees, who then escorted the woman out of the building.
According to reports on Sunday, police are still investigating the incident and no arrests have been made.
The children's mother, Crystal Phillips, was at work when the December 26 incident occurred and was left in shock when she was told the story.
Crystal, who later watched the surveillance footage, : "Especially in a public place where there are so many eyewitnesses, so many people around, there was no shame, no nothing. It’s terrible.
"That’s hard to watch. Anyone grabbing my child, even for just a split second, I think the worst. What could have happened, what would have happened if she wasn’t there.”

A similar incident occurred in Arizona in 2018, when 10-year-old Maddison Raines was approached by a man in an SUV, who claimed her brother had been in a serious accident and he had come to pick her up.
Maddison, however, had been taught a specific code-word by her family, which she was to ask for before going anywhere with a stranger.
The man did not know the code word, and so the 10-year-old ran away.
