Mom Scratches 'B**ch' on Son's Face with Crayon

Posted by JeanneSager

If this isn't a case of the pot calling the kettle black, what is? An Indiana mother has been arrested on charges of neglect of a dependent, battery and criminal confinement after allegedly holding her fourth-grader on the floor and using a crayon to scratch the word "b**ch" on his forehead. 

It sounds like Sherri Feuston definitely is one. 

The mom then sent the boy to school, where officials called in child abuse investigators. They say Feuston also beat the boy with a belt and flicked him in the eye with a towel. Her defense? She was just "playing" with him. 

Have you picked up your kids crayons lately? Of all my daughter's toys, I'd have to say they're among the least dangerous. So the thought that someone could actually scratch out a word on the skin that would still be visible an extended period of time later is hard to believe. You'll forgive me, then, if I don't believethis mom was "just playing" when she did this.

What an awful thing to do! I like the comments people made that she should have "do not allow to procreate" scratched onto her forehead, or have  BITCH tattooed there.
