ERIE, Pennsylvania (AP) -- 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 baby was critically injured in the attack early Sunday, said District Attorney Bradley Foulk.

"Never, never, never. I can never remember anything like this," 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 and gender were not released, was taken to a hospital in Pittsburgh. Authorities did not identify the hospital, and the baby's condition Monday was not released.

There was no immediate indication whether the man Graham is accused of attacking was the baby's father.

Authorities removed four other children from Graham's home and placed them with the Erie County Office of Children and Youth, Foulk said.

That woman is f**king stupid.

 

[raybia]

Man, I hate when that happens.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

That doesn't sound like "reckless" endangerment.
More like "Pure, other-worldly, inhumanly Evil" endangerment.

 

[black_dust]

Oh my god, some sick people in the world.

 

[Immortalfire]

What a freakatwit she is

Poor baby

 

[bulok]

that **** is disgusting

 

[jaguarr]

When I first read the thread title, I thought..."Wow. Women have been using children as weapons for centuries and have never been brought up on charges for it." Little did I know that she'd literally used the child as a blunt instrument rather than a psychological weapon.

I'm sorry... this is tragic... but I am totally laughing my ass off.

 

[Fran]

Some people are just white trash... that is a perfect example.

 

[Morg]

Ooops I see someone beat me, sure hope child services never let that kid back with the mother

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Why does all this crap happen in Pennsylvania? Of all places.

 

[Master Chief]

Thanks for being a lazy mod Morg and deleting my post instead of moving it.

Anyway. The wording made me laff, and I feel bad. But I hope the baby's all right. Well, going to be all right.

 

[Space Moose]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! That article made me laugh so much I s**t my pants!!!

 

[kingman]

Sickening that there are people in the world that are capable of doing that, I hope they lock her up for life in a cell with a murderer who lost their child.. it wouldn't be enough punishment but it would be a start at least

 

[tzarinna]

God lord and she has 4 other kids.
What is going on? They need to check more than just the spinach.

I wonder if she is black?

Why is that when a woman commits a crime, it's simple battery or reckless endangerment, or whatever? But when a man does it, it's plain assault or attempted manslaughter? It was the same b.s with that woman who viciously attacked that reporter a month ago, on camera, then her husband ran up and started beating him. The woman got the lesser of the charges, even though it's clear from the tape that she was just as aggressive...?

I tell ya, seriously, having a pair of boobies in this country can do wonders for ya...seriously.
