Mother uses baby as weapon

There is a special level of hell reserved for this woman.

Wow! What can I say that we aren't all thinking? This is too horrible!

The weirdest thing to me about this story is that I would never consider a baby a good weapon. I don't think it would cross my mind. Not only wouldn't I because it would obviously hurt the baby, but come on....it's not going to hurt the other person. Grab something harder!

Exactly Claire! If I'm going to go to the trouble of actually hitting someone with something I'm going to do it up good..haha!

Where do we get in line to pick HER up by the legs and use HER as a weapon? This goes beyond cruel and abusive - it's absolutely hateful. I will be praying for that little boy.

When I hear/read this stuff, I feel physically sick to my stomach.

Why isn't she charged with something with a little more teeth in it, like attempted murder? I think a good prosecutor would have no trouble making that one stick. She should be put away for a long time, and forget about EVER seeing any of those kids again.

I hope she doesn't see the outside of a jail cell for a while. That poor baby.

There probably isn't a law to exactly fit the offense. Who would have dreamed of something like this? Maybe the combined charges will keep her locked up for a while. Meantime, I pray for that baby and for her other kids.

There is another layer to this story.

Erie's Department of Children and Youth has been under heavy fire in recent years yet no one in a position of authority is doing anything about their blunders. There are rumors that this might not have been the first time Graham's name crossed their desks. Another girl was murdered by her (adoptive) mother, who was frustrated by the child's special needs. These are just some of the stories that are actually making the news. There are dozens of stories that may only get a local mention (I moved from Erie in July) and who knows how many more that go completely untold.

There are authorities in place who are supposed to help children in these situations but in Erie, they're not even asleep at the wheel; they're nowhere near the wheel. Locally, there's a nearly equal amount of outrage at CYS.

The only time we have ever use our daughter like a "weapon" was for fun! Daddy tought her to hit someone's butt when they are bent over! LOL! Now I am TRYING to unteach her because she nearly got a waitress the other day. :-)

I hope this lady NEVER gets her kids back, people like this need to have their tubes tied too!

1. Now, we all know that she used the baby as a weapon ... but the VERY LEAST she could do is have it WORK. Look at how bad she got her ass kicked .. if anyone's going to be so heinous as to use a baby as a weapon, at THE VERY LEAST win the fight.

2. I am the last dude to condone hitting a woman .. but I hope that n*gga knocked her the hell out ..

3. As fas as her saying "it was a mistake" goes, the only mistake here is that she was allowed to have sex and MAKE a baby in the first place ..

4. Am I the only person who thinks she kind of looks like Quasimodo with her eye like that?

Dre - great comments.

Sadly, this woman probably will eventually get her children back after she goes through a year or two of counseling because of the ridiculous fictions that children are better off with their mothers, that families are better off kept together, etc.

But the reality is that parents who abuse their children are so sick that it would take so many years of therapy and retraining to make them into decent parents that the children who need protection from them will be grown up by then -- and continuing the cycle of violence.

Parents who abuse their children should NEVER even be allowed to be around children again. When parents abuse their children, they do FAR MORE damage to their children and to society than non-parent pedophiles. Let's get honest about these monsters!
