Just when you thought the world couldn't get sicker... Woman charged with using baby as weapon
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 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...I would say more but I am left speechless.
