Woman chokes teen over facebook comments.
A US mother allegedly attacked a 14-year-old-boy in a shopping mall because he wrote on Facebook that her daughter was so ugly he wouldn’t even rape her.
Debbie Piscitella, 46, was at a Florida shopping centre with her daughter when she pointed out the boy who had posted offensive comments on her photos earlier that day.
The drama had started when the 14-year-old girl had uploaded photos of herself at a concert last weekend. The boy, who the girl did not know, made offensive comments about her appearance.
The girl’s father, Jim Piscitella, said he logged on and asked the boy to stop it. He responded by making more sexual comments about his daughter. Hours later, Mrs Piscitella was filmed on a shop camera grabbing the boy by his backpack and then choking him with her hands.
“The mother of the girl became incensed,” police spokesman Mike Puetz said.
According to Mrs Piscitella, police officers who arrived on the scene told her they would have done the same thing. The boy called police after the attack. Charges were pressed after his mother, Keysha Tipton, saw the red marks on his neck.
Mrs Piscitella explained her actions on Facebook afterwards.
“I shouldn’t have done that. But you all do not even come close to understanding all the torment they have put my child through,” she posted.
“I had six different Pinellas county sheriff officers tell me that if that were their child and the same thing would have happened that they would have done worse than what I did, and they said that they understood exactly why I did it.”
But Ms Tipton said Mrs Piscitella had no excuse.
“By all means, if my son needs to apologise for what he said, he will be apologising. But regardless of how mad you get, you don’t put your hands on anybody — especially a child,” she said.
Mrs Piscitella was arrested for child abuse and was later released from jail on $5000 bail.
