...during negotiations with a retailer to pay for the dress, Gant offered her four-year-old son as collateral for payment on at least two occassions.
Well c'mon now, that's really just more like pawning her son--I'm sure she was gonna pay the money to get him out of hock!

Or a female body part.

If your parents had named you that, wouldn't you be angry too?

Oh, yeah, on the whole 'selling your son for 200.00$' thing--WTF? I'll bet she could get a lot more---like, three hundred, three-fifty at least!

The woman that used her kid as a weapon needs to do a LOT of time.

I'm glad somebody else jumped on this joke.
I had the post "you could get alot more if you parted him out" queued up, and then I just moved along without posting it. I do that alot, actually.

Police: Mom Uses Baby As Weapon To Beat Man
Baby Critically Injured

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.

edit: your post-fu is strong, bbro
Mom should have had a handgun. Ooh, and the man should have had a handgun too. Things would have turned out so much better in this situation.

The baby should have been packing in this case.

A child acting like the one in the video just strengthens my belief that it is NEVER too late for an abortion.

I know. Too bad the parents weren't aborted before they got pregnant.
