Woman Gets Jail In Assault On Boy, 4
Hot French Fries Smashed in Face

A woman who chased a 4-year-old boy through a McDonald's restaurant in Montgomery County, pinned him in a headlock and screamed obscenities as she smeared his face with hot french fries was sentenced yesterday to four days in jail and ordered to attend anger management and parenting classes.

Milikia Hayes, 18, of Gaithersburg was nearly nine months pregnant with her first child when the incident took place in May. The boy, whom Hayes did not know, accidentally smeared ice cream on her clothing at a McDonald's in Germantown, authorities said. The boy had turned around while he was in line ahead of Hayes, and his ice cream touched her sleeve.

Hayes started screaming at the terrified boy, who ran from her, authorities said. After catching him, Hayes smeared "boiling hot, greasy french fries" on his face, said State's Attorney Douglas F. Gansler.

"The boy was scared to death," Gansler said. "It is incomprehensible to think that an adult would attack a child of any age in such a manner."

Hayes pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. A Circuit Court judge sentenced her to 18 months in jail, with all but four days suspended, and ordered her to attend the classes.

Hayes told authorities that she was on her way to a baby shower and was wearing one of her nicest shirts when she stopped at the McDonald's about 5 p.m. May 17.

"Clearly, her own behavior was inappropriate and egregious for any adult, much less someone about to have her own child," Gansler said. "In getting this type of sentence, we hope it will ensure that she's learned a valuable lesson and will help her in raising her own child."

After the assault, the boy's eyes were swollen, Gansler said. Although he suffered no serious physical injuries, "we don't know what kind of emotional and psychological damage he's had," Gansler said.

Hayes's attorney, Charles Lazar, did not return several phone calls seeking comment yesterday.

"We thought it was important to prosecute her for the conduct," Gansler said. "It was also important for the 4-year-old boy to understand that what this defendant did was wrong and that she was punished for it."
