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."
I wouldn't hit a pregnant woman, unless absolutely unavoidable, but, I would have said something, physically removed her from boy, and if she took a swing, I would have taken the punch, but would've detained/restrained her.
Then I would have used necessary pressure to restrain arms, a few pressure points, etc..
People can be stupid, like the woman who recently left her infant soaking in a bucket of Pine Sol and some other household cleaner and then was surprised to come back and find him dead.
What truly amazes me about this story though is that you can apparently get "boiling hot french fries" at a McDonalds. Mine always seem to be the safer lukewarm, almost cold kind.
We have the one where the woman left her 2 year old daughter alone for 19 days, while she was in jail.
She didn't say anything, to anyone, including the child's father, who actually loves her(little girl).
Know the NAACP is saying racism.
Story made the O'reilly Factor.
What if it was your viper the little brat damaged? I will admit what she did was a little extreme but kids today get no discipline from their parents.
Well for one...a kid who by accident puts a little ice cream on my shirt is not what I would consider a brat. Now if the kid pitched the sucker like a fast ball and nailed me in the face...then he would be a brat.
second..if a child damages any vehicle...sure I would be upset but a 50K car is a lot different than a shirt that could be cleaned in 2 seconds with a wet paper towel.
I would NEVER harm or touch any child in any way for any such act. I would restrain him/her sure...but I would take care of business in other ways.

AGREED!!!!
I, for one, am not opposed to retroactive birth control of stupid people.
I was at an airshow last year with my two boys.(14 and 12)It's hotter than hell and the people in front of me had two little boy's with these high powered squirt guns.They squirted some people and it was all in good fun.So, I'm watching a plane in the sky when this high powered stream of water blasts me right in the eye,through the side of my sunglasses.I wanted to break that little fucker in half right in front of his dad.The little bastard knew exactly what he was doing and had a big grin on his face.I told him I didn't want to sick my boy's on him and he changed his tune.His dad was pissed off at ME,instead of explaining to little jonny that he shouldn't do shit like that to adults.My kids know not to do shit like that to adults = no respect.
If some phyco mommy lit up one of my boy's she would have been on life support for a month.If my kid pulled some bullshit move then I will take care of him myself and you can bet he will NEVER pull that shit again.
If I were the boys parent that bitch would have gone to the hospital and I would be on trial.
punch her unborn baby too. you meanie. [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]
Toby, I didn't think about that, damn, two assualt charges!! Now you mention it I feel bade about my comments.
I guess I'd have to be careful and just punch her out to demonstrate that there is a consequence for your actions towards others. There, I've transformed from a violent bastard into a mentor!!
