Another Texas mom loses it
Categories: Newborns, Just for moms, Media, Education
Is it just me, or does the state of Texas seem to have more than it's share of interfering and overbearing mothers? First you have Wanda Holloway, who tried to hire a hit man to murder the mother of her daughter's cheerleading rival. Now we have Judy Moore Smith, who has been charged with aggravated assault after an incident at her daughter's college.
According to police, after Smith's daughter, 18 year old LaPrince Moore, called her mother in Dallas complaining about classmates at school who were harassing her, mom headed to the school to settle the dispute. Upon arriving at Texas College in Tyler, Smith went to the president's office to discuss the matter. After speaking with Smith, Texas College President Billy C. Hawkins sent both her and her daughter off with staff members to have lunch while he spoke to the other girls.
But instead of staying in the cafeteria, police say Smith went looking for the mean girls. When her daughter pointed to a girl on campus, the mother confronted her. Police say the two began arguing and when Smith produced an ice pick, a security officer got involved. Another student, who tried to intervene, was bitten by Smith and the security officer was cut while trying to get the ice pick away. Smith has been charged with aggravated assault, her daughter is charged with interfering with a police officer and both are in jail.
Maybe these student were harassing Smith's daughter. And maybe other mothers in that situation would have headed off to the school to speak to officials like Smith did. But how many mothers would have packed an ice pick for the trip?

Well... wait.. I mean.. this was college. Why would I go and talk to the "mean girls" and principal at that point in my child's life? I mean -- short of her being assaulted and her asking me to WITH her to speak to the powers that be... but not FOR her...

This woman is, yeah, a conplete head case. But as a Texan, I just have to say that there aren't more crazy people here. It's just a big state with your average number of lunatic mothers per capita. I would LOVE to blame insanity on the heat, but I think it has more to do with sheer numbers rather than the state itself! :)

What kind of college has a bunch of young women acting like 13-year-olds in the first place? Sounds like a lot of people need to seriously grow up.
