I guess you can't breast feed your kids on a plane or hit them. What's a parent to do?? ;)

Mom accused of hitting kids on plane indicted
38-year-old woman arrested when plane landed, has been in jail since

DENVER - A woman accused of repeatedly hitting her two young children on a flight from San Francisco to Denver has been indicted on assault and interference charges.
The indictment against Tamera Jo Freeman was handed down Tuesday and made public Wednesday.
An FBI affidavit alleges that Tamera Jo Freeman, 38, hit and cursed at her 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son during the July 16 Frontier Airlines flight. It also alleges that she assaulted and intimidated a flight attendant who intervened.
Freeman was arrested after the plane landed and has been held in jail since. A hearing is scheduled Thursday to determine whether she should be released.
Freeman allegedly told an investigator she "lost it" and slapped her children during the flight because they were fighting over the window shade and because her daughter had spilled a drink.
The indictment includes one count of interfering with a flight attendant and two counts of assault on a child under 16 on an airplane.
The interference charge carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Each assault count carries a penalty of up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
Freeman's 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son have been placed in the custody of family members in California.
Defense attorney Martha Eskesen did not immediately return a call.

  • ruin her financially...that would be great for the kids.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
