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 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.

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.


wow

Geezuz cripes That is soooo wrong on all levels.

Ugh...you should have to be licensed to have kids or something.

If it wasn't for the baby being hurt, this would be funny

OH MY GOD...this is horrific How anyone could do something like this is beyond my comprehension.

I'm not defending the action in the least. But, she sounded desperate.

even if she was desperate, its still not an excuse for her to use her newborn as a weapon against a man who was abusing her. I'd put myself in the line of fire to protect my child. (if i had one)

I agree with you, like I said.

well, what did HE get? we don't know all the facts. she could have been using the baby as a means to keep him from getting to her (still not right, but if somebody is whooping your ass, you do strange things). was she swinging the baby head first or legs first?
let's get a few more facts before we condemn her to pamela smart levels

when I heard the name on the news I was like huh?
Is that some part of the femal anatomy or a plant?

oops up side ya head

funkpill said:

WTF kind of hot ghetto mess is this? Take her kids away permanently, throw those two morons in jail and throw away the key. Evenstar is right, people should have to take a test before they have kids.

look don't get smart with me. Thanks.

Maybe she thought he would stop.


damn....maybe there's more to this story especially after looking at the pic.


its awful.

She probably was so terrified she lost it...poor baby.

i think its interesting how regular news has become the Jerry Springer show.

news doesn't care about people. they want to kick everyone in the head and laugh.

Hey, I wasn't getting smart with you, amiga... It's not deep enough. But it is a tragic situation. I was saying I agreed with your feelings, while explaining what likely happened...
