It’s too bad the electric chair has been phased out. That gal needs to fry for her crime. 
Headlock a four year old?
Smear him with HOT French fries?
IN THE FUCKING EYES?
This is a serious assault case. The woman forcibly restrained this small child while accomplishing maximum harm without physical contact (i.e., blows). She specifically aimed for an extremely sensitive and vulnerable part of the child’s body.
All for some ice cream on her shirt? Isn’t spilling shit what four year olds do for a living? Who the fuck is this cretin and what the fuck does she think she is, some avenging banshee of the Spilled Ice Cream God?
Jail time would be a good thing. I don’t fucking care if her kid is born right there in the damned cell. Every single time she is asked which hospital she gave birth in, she’ll have a rock-solid reminder to NEVER EVER DO THIS AGAIN.
Uh … in the lockdown at the county hospital …
What a fucking malicious moron!
PS: Squink, there’s no death penalty in France, so she can’t be French fried.
I gotta add:
What the fuck is going to happen the first time her own infant throws up on her? Let’s hope to goodness that she doesn’t have some French fries handy then.
I specifically adressed this earlier:
25 years in a cell or execution (I know, at least hope, you were being facetious) are extremely excessive in this case, and I would wager that if that sentence were passed, it would be thrown out.
THE WOMAN NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED. The fact that I’ve been saying this all along seems to have been lost on some of you. Her actions were inexcusable, without a doubt. However, nowhere in the article does it say that she’s been convicted, charged, or even accused of any crime ever before. I am giving her at least the benefit of the doubt that this is her first offense. Even if it wasn’t, she’s only 18, and her juvenile record (if one exists) is sealed, and does not count against her. This is very likely a first offense, and she will plea down to probation. Hell, she may even qualify for an ARD program, and if she passes, this incident is expunged.
So, put away your pitchforks and torches, and come back to common sense land. They were french fries, for crying out loud. She did not chase him around the restaraunt with a mace (“Come back here, so that I may brain thee…”) and hold his head under water.
By the way, I have a 3 year old boy, and I’m trying to imagine my reaction if this happened to him. I still would be very comfortable if the sentencing judge spared her from jail if she sucessfully completed parenting and anger management classes.
I do hear what you are saying [BCasey**.
Yes if she does not have a criminal record, I’m sure the judge will take that into account when passing sentence.
I just don’t think her being preggers should have any bearing on it.
(also don’t forget that fries are frequently covered with salt, ever get salt in your eyes?)
I think that she should serve jail time, have MANDATORY therapy/counseling/anger management courses that she has to show MARKED improvement in, and that the baby she births should NOT be in her custody at first. (If ever.)
I thought for a few days, (ok, and fumed too) before posting in this thread. My mother-in-law asked some pertinent questions when I brought this topic up. “Where were the restaurant workers while this was going on? Why didn’t they intervene?”
I don’t know if that female will ever be well enough to have the privelege of caring for a young child. She obviously cannot relate to others. She cannot understand that other people than herself matter, and she shows it by her actions.
Until she grows some compassion/empathy, and demonstrates that she considers others before she acts, I say DON"T let her care for a child. It would be harmful for the child, it would pick up her attitude, and also be hurt by her attitude. A double edged sword.
Break the cycle, don’t let her pass her “illness” on. Maybe she can learn, and be able to be a mother, but right now she is not able to do so.
Yes, Zenster, spilling shit is exactly what 4-year-olds do. I teach preschool, a class of 4-year-olds, to be exact. The thought of someone doing this to one of my kids horrifies me. As the OP pointed out, the fact that this cretin lives (relatively) close to me is disgusting.
The fact that it was a McD’s means that it was most likely that plain old soft-serve vanilla ice cream. Big freaking deal.
Even asking for the boy’s family to pay the dry-cleaning bill is over the top. Wipe it off and then go home and throw it in the washing machine. Kids spill. Get used to it.
This woman needs jail time, long-term anger management classes, and therapy. Count me in with those who hope they place the baby in foster care. Maybe she’ll realize she’s not fit to be a parent and give it up for adoption.
How do you know that the punk ass kid didn’t deliberately hurl ice-cream at her? That would piss me off enough to waste someone’s salty potato snacks, just like Lika did. She gives great head by the way. Too bad she’s headed for the slammer. I can always sell the kid on e-bay. If I get a good review like “EXCELLENT BABY WOULD BUY FROM AGAIN A+++++” then I could hook up with another semi-psychotic chick who wants a magic baby that doesn’t expel waste or require effort to raise, then hope she committed some act of violence against another dumb kid who provoked her. PROVOCATION IS A LEGAL DEFENSE PEOPLE, I PLAYED A HOTSHOT LAWYER ON TV.
