ERIE, Pennsylvania - 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 boy was in serious but stable condition Monday at Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, police said.
“Never, never, never. I can never remember anything like this,” District Attorney Bradley 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 was not released, suffered a fractured skull and some bleeding in the brain, authorities said. His head hit Graham’s boyfriend, the baby’s father, police Lt. Dan Spizarny said.
Authorities removed four other children from Graham’s home and placed them with the Erie County Office of Children and Youth, Foulk said.
This is just about the most appalling thing I have heard in a long time! What altered state of mind do you have to be in to be that callous? If this was her first child, somewhere in the deepest recesses of your mind you MIGHT be able to find a rationalization, but you would have to work real hard! This is worse than shaken infant syndrome and most other offenses involving child abuse. Debra LaFavre has sex with a student and has to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life! Can we at least make this woman infertile and keep her away from ALL children for the rest of hers?

Yeah, this gets the obligatory, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot....
..what a horrific story, roger...i read a follow-up to this, turns out she'd been drinking (big surprise), and they say she "snapped" in the heat of an argument...just a horrible story all around...i shudder at the thought of the stories the other four children could tell...
