Mom accused of swinging baby as weapon
Mon Oct 9, 8:48 PM ET
A woman used her 4-week-old baby as a weapon in a domestic dispute, swinging the infant through the air and striking her boyfriend with the child, authorities said.
The boy was in serious but stable condition Monday at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, police said.
"Never, never, never. I can never remember anything like this," District Attorney Bradley Foulk told the Erie Times-News.
Chytoria Graham, 27, of Erie, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and simple assault. She was held Monday in the Erie County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bail.
The infant, whose name was not released, suffered a fractured skull and some bleeding in the brain, authorities said. His head hit Graham's boyfriend, the baby's father, police Lt. Dan Spizarny said.
Authorities removed four other children from Graham's home and placed them with the Erie County Office of Children and Youth, Foulk said.

Obviously what this nation needs are stronger baby laws to prevent this kind of assult with a high powered baby!  Its just common sense that nobody needs one of these dangerous assult-babies to the park or shopping at the mall.

Ban babies NOW!  Do it for the children!

I'm at that point where babys don't bother me, cause they all belong to someone else! Tongue

I find myself with diminishing tolerance for people who abuse children.

There are people who live in a universe where only their own immediate desires exist. Typically they wouldnt even survive long enough to reproduce, and even if they did their offspring wouldnt survive being in their care. It makes a person kinda long for a time when life was harder for everyone.

I'd think of something witty to say, but that would be inappropriate.  Right?

I'm not seeing the connection between this lunatic woman and Kerry voters.  Would you enlighten me?

You get the connection.  It would be a good laugh if there weren't an infant with a cracked cranium and a bleeding brain.

Is your "connection" some weird belief that drunken Bush supporters in trailer parks have never commited a crime of mind numbingly absurd familial violence? Or do you have kind of insight into this particular case?

I guess what I am asking is this: Are you deeply misinformed, or are you just making crap up as you go?

Ok, now I feel stupid.  I sincerely don't get the connection, but I gather that I'm supposed to.  Did Kerry somehow beat up one of his infant children and I didn't hear about it?

Take pity on me and spell it out, pretty please.

What crap did I make up?  Everyone calm down, please.  

Standing Wolf's joke was pretty obvious, wasn't it?  The gist was that this women was so crazy, she must have been a Democrat.  I didn't make the joke.  I don't think this is a laughing matter.
