Cops: Mom threw baby at car

[trumad]

In the old days it used to be a frying pan....

ORANGE COUNTY - -An east Orange County mother was arrested after witnesses told authorities she threw her 2-month-old baby at a moving car, according to a sheriff's report released Friday.

Eva Platt, 31, was arguing with the child's father, Tony Licon-Diaz, at their Sherman Street home about 1:45 a.m. Thursday. Witnesses told deputies that Platt had been drinking when Licon-Diaz left the house and got in a car to leave. She tossed the baby after him, and the child struck the closed window and fell to the ground.

The baby was taken to Florida Hospital East with a skull fracture and bleeding in the brain.

Platt faces one count each of aggravated child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She was being held on $100,000 bail.

[woo me with science]

[Eurobabe]

8. yeah what's up with that? weird charge. n/t

[Clark2008]

12. Sounds like there was more to the story that wasn't reported.

Maybe they were drinking with a teenager or something?? :shrug:

16. In some states, the charge is used any time a child is placed in an inappropriate situation.

It's a very BROAD charge; it could simply refer to having
the child at a party where everyone was drunk and violent.

[Rosemary2205]

25. She was drunk or had open alcohol in the presence of a minor (the baby)???

If that's the case then the charge seems like a stretch to me.

28. I think attempted murder is more appropriate!

6. Horrible.

[Eurobabe]

7. Unfrickinbelievable...hope that poor child recovers

9. They don't have enough emoticons for this one...

So I've chosen all that apply:

[leftofthedial]

10. that is grossly ineffective birth control

abhorrent

[Clark2008]

11. I have a five-week-old.

This absolutely sickens me.

Can I be alone in a room with that "mother," and I use the term loosely, for about 10 minutes? I may be small, but I bet you I can show her what it feels like to be flung at a solid object.

:grr:

[stevedeshazer]

13. Glad to see you've sobered up

Throwing babies at cars. Good one.

[nini]

14. She needs to be sterilized so she can never have another child

ANY person who can harm a child to that extent should be forced to be sterilized - I know how this sounds but I don't care.

flame away if you want but they immediately forfeit any right to have another child if they are capabale of harming one in that way.

[Ilsa]

15. I'm gonna need to be talked out of feeling the same way.

Yeah, there has to be a line drawn between "suspected" child abuse that ends up putting a kid in foster care versus blatant child abuse. A fractured skull etc, and witnesses seems good enough to me for the moment to advocate for sterilization.

18. Poor little thing!!!!!

I hope the poor baby will be OK. Bleeding in the brain doesn't sound good....If the baby survives, I hope he is taken from that 'mother' and given a good home, with adoptive parents who can treat him well.

[Subdivisions]

19. I'll say it again. The fabric of America is shredding.

[MessiahRp]

20. That is fucked up.

Beyond all belief.

21. I feel sorry for the social services employees who will have to work with the parents.

I work in foster care here and media cases always suck. Of course, mom will probably not get out of jail so it may not be so bad. I hope the baby recovers with no long term effects.

[NaturalHigh]

22. Throw this stupid bitch in jail, and throw away the key.

She needs to be kept as far away from kids as possible.

[mitchum]

23. Low rent Medea

[Coventina]

24. Nice!

:thumbsup:

26. Some people just aren't fit to have children

It's a pity all that's required for parenthood is functioning reproductive organs and the desire to use them. Children deserve so much more.
