Why would she tape herself beating the kid? Was it supposed to go on her Myspace?

Maybe the cops will give her back her phone so she can film "Bertha" hitting her in prison.

Hey, she was just spanking it, You know all kids need a good spanking now and then. Unless the kid had to go to the hospital she should be commended for showing that kid what's what.

This is why I usually use my old cell phones for target practice.

Sometimes people are just begging to go to prison.

I would imagine she gets treated like shr deserves in later years.

Actually, it looks like it may have been her roomie's phone that was sold.

Officers said Aisha Bowen, 18, was recently videotaped by her roommate striking the baby several times.

The phone was recently sold and the new owner turned the video over to police last week.

Which raises the question: if the roommate recorded it in the first place, why didn't she report it?

Roommate took the video.

I can't figure out why anybody who doesn't understand child development, and really like babies, would take care of someone else's babies. It can't be the money.

I assume this was more than just swatting the little hand away from a hot cup of coffee or a swat on the diaper for trying to toddle into the street--other than that kind of thing, there's no reason to hit a kid that little at all.

I don't like other people's kids, so you couldn't pay me to babysit them. I'm not stupid enough to undertake a demanding, often frustrating task for low wages when I have no talent for it.

She sells cellphones down by the seashore.

Always wipe the data off of electronics that you sell, or else, you'll make the mistake a guy we'll call 'G. Janitor' made...No, let's call him 'Great J'. made by selling a computer to a friend of his and forgot to delete the she male porn off the hard drive first.

While I agree that kids sometimes deserve a spanking, I also think that it a decision best left to the PARENTS to decide, not the babysitter.

what's the custody of evidence on this? couldn't she ber the victim of a _Rising Sun_ scenario?

You're not going to teach a 10 month old anything by hitting it. It's just inflicting pain to make yourself feel better.

I say that parents today aren't qualified to make that choice any more, and that school teachers, babysitters, gym coaches, bus drivers and the like, should be allowed to spank children. Especially if they're the spawn of parents who don't believe in spanking, or actually punishing a kid.

Now, I define spanking as hitting only the arse (lump of fat/muscle, not vital body parts, good to taking physical abuse), no more than 10 swats, no less than 3, hand or belt (with belt buckle firmly held in the hand).

Yeah you are, you're teaching that 10 month old that doing said action will result in pain.

Holy hell. If that were the case, I'd be lucky if I was ever able to sit down as a child. I was on the receiving end of enough spankings with a hand/belt/wooden spoon as it was. Having the ability of allowing OTHERS to redden my arse...I'd be terrified to blink without the proper permission! (Might not have been a bad thing though)

I don't agree with the idea of giving ANYONE the authority to smack my kid's arse though. Some people (even parents) don't know when enough is enough and tend to take things too far. I've seen it happen first hand where a so-called "spanking" is nothing more than a beating.

Obviously, authority needs to come from the home first and foremost...and yes, I agree, there are many parents who don't agree with spanking or punishing their child(ren)...However, with today's society being the way it is, it's far too dangerous to even discipline your own child via a spanking for fear of Child Protective Services or whatever the hell they are tying you up in red tape for "child abuse". As much as I'd love to in some cases, I'd never dare to lay my hand on another perosn's child, no matter how deserving they were of it.

or a swat on the diaper for trying to toddle into the street

LOL

I see what you did there

I knew before even reading the article that she would be ghetto trash.

/just sayin'
//if you've ever actually been to Ocala you would have thought the same thing.

lol

or a swat on the diaper for trying to toddle into the street

My bad, I read that as 'a swat on the diaper trying to get the toddler into the street'

disregard my 'I see what you did there' statement, mmkay?

Ten months old, dude. You know not of what you speak.

Hey, she was just spanking it, You know all kids need a good spanking now and then.

1. Spanking is one thing but the article said she hit the kid which makes me think it was a blow to the face of a closed fist. Both of which are much worse than spanking. There is never a reason to strike a kid with your fist.

2. A 10 month old is not old enough is not old enough to realize right from wrong there fore the hitting did not teach the kid anything only hurt and frightened it.

3. It wasn't her kid! Punishment When called for outside of time out and suspension should be left to the parent. But again the child is to young to be responsible for it's actions thus should not be punished at this age.

4. There are other methods of disaplining a child that work much better.

Seriously, my dad would beat and threaten us. We learned to tolerate a few minutes pain and sneak around so we didn't get caught. My mom however never physically hurt us, but was very creative. Such as one time I compared living with her to living in jail. So she showed me what jail was really like.

She took all my toys and all my decorations (Including the curtains) out of my room. She left me my bed, my blanket, and a little table to eat my meals on and that's were I stayed. I came out only to use the rest room then went right back to my 'cell'. She didn't lay a finger on me but it was a long time before I misbehaved again.

People don't need to hit kids to discipline them and I plan to never spank mine. It just takes a little imagination and a little effort to make kids mind. It's just easier for the parent to hit a kid, and it relieves there frustration, but it does not teach.

But as I stated above, a 10 month old does not have the mental capacity to determine right from wrong nor the ability to connect their actions to the abusive behavior thus not only was she breaking the law by hitting another person's child, but she was not teaching it to behave anyway. I hope she gets the same treatment in prison, because unlike the helpless baby she IS old enough to determine right from wrong.

Video or it didn't happen.

On a related note, people that spend the most on cell phones and accessories are usually ghetto shiatheads. Ride the DC Metro and tell me honestly if you think anyone wearing the "look at me, I'm an important executive!" bluetooth headsets actually has a job.

Well, they had to get the money for the bluetooth headset, phone and phone contract somehow? Now, odds are, while they may have a job, it's not an executive job.

Not to threadjack here or anything, last year I worked with this one dickhead who had one of those "Look at me!" bluetooth head sets. He would sit in the breakroom, and when a conversation started near him, he'd shout "I'm on the phone, shut up!". He did that to me, and I said, "You're on a cell phone, you can leave and go somewhere quiet, I'm staying here." and I continued my conversation. He eventually left, but filed a complaint with the boss against me.

For a second I thought the worker beat the baby with the cell phone, and the video was on while she was doing it. I shamefully admit I sort of LOL'd when I thought of this.

/Although it probably would have been a hilarious video to watch.

Sweatpants around your kness, wifebeater, sunglasses, riding around the city aimlessly at 2:30 PM on a Monday = no job.

Sadly he still works there, I don't.

What happened was that after seeing what I did, others started to tell that jackass that he'd have to leave, not them. Started kind of a little movement (and the realization that I was working with sheep). He'd biatch, they'd refuse to move, he'd complain to the boss. The boss, getting tired of the complaints, fired me for starting the problem (it was either me or him, and I had been there for about 6 weeks, he'd been there for over a year).

When keeping it real, goes wrong

Cottage Cheesecake: She sells cellphones down by the seashore jail.

FTFY

Someone here in this thread is getting way too excited about corporally punishing babies. Please don't make any of your own or take charge of any.

There's no justification in pounding on a 10-month-old, ever.

I almost forgot to add...

That is effin' brilliant. Kudos to your mom.

My mom used to ground me from reading books. Oh, and I got grounded from going to my volunteer group once. Way to go, mom.

Never seen the "Cash Advance" places next to the grocery store or fast food restaurant?

It's usually a good sign you live in an awful place.

farking coont. A 10 month old. She needs to be sterilized, beaten , and then imprisoned. Stoopid biatch.

Nieman: Why would she tape herself beating the kid? Was it supposed to go on her Myspace?

FTA..."Officers said Aisha Bowen, 18, was recently videotaped by her roommate striking the baby several times."

Despite the submitter's headline, it appears that it was the roommate's cell phone, not the child abuser's.

Regardless of whether you should be hitting a baby that isn't yours....

Only a FLORIDA DUMBASS would videotape the entire venture and then SELL THE TAPE sight unseen to somebody else without a care in the world.

She might as well just brand I AM A STUPID BIATCH on her forehead before she goes to jail. Save time.
