Tie a knot and hang on. I really wish I could break the habit of watching the news, because the things that people are doing just seems to get more and more disturbing. Today I can’t get this story out of my head.
Police: Mom Uses Baby As Weapon To Beat Man
Baby Critically Injured
POSTED: 10:50 am EDT October 9, 2006
ERIE, Pa. -- 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 swung at the individual that she was arguing with," Erie 4th Ward District Judge Tom Robie 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.
Four other children were removed from the home by child welfare officials, Foulk said. The oldest of those children was 8 years old.
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.
I think it is especially troubling because it seems as each year passes people lose more and more self control and is evidence as to how far people have gotten from God. I know that we all get overwhelmed but to take it out on your children is just wrong. Just last night my daughters and my boyfriend were pulling me in three different directions. I threatened to run away and sat in “time out” in my car. I recovered and went back in the house and resumed life as normal, hoping we have a better day today. One of my favorite quotes is “And this too shall pass” - knowing that I have chance to do things differently and start again each day keeps me hopeful and helps me navigate the hills and valleys of life.

Girl, I read that. Isn't that crazy. That baby was injured seriously. What an idiot! This is a crazy world we live in, and people should want to get closer to God. My grandma would say we are living in our "last days". How someone can hurt an innocent child baffles me. Just recently a woman, killed her best friend and her 3 livng children, and cut the unborn baby from her pregnant friend and that baby died too. Just craziness. DAna
I read that on someone's blog and it just makes me sad. Our world has gone insane. Most people act like that have never heard of God, but we as people should be wanting to get closer to God. God will NEVER fail!
That is just AWFUL!! Some people can be so STUPID!
i love your outlook. i try to take things day by day!
I blogged about this too. How does one's mind even think of something like this to do? Foolishnes.
That just breaks my heart, that a mother would value her child so little. What a horrible person to do such a thing.
This is crazy!
