SELMA, Ind. -- A Delaware County woman was arrested after her 9-year-old son told police she held him down and scratched a derogatory word onto his forehead before sending him to school.

Selma Elementary School officials called police on Tuesday when the fourth-grader showed up with the b-word written on his forehead, 6News' Rick Hightower reported.

"When little kids at school came up asking him what happened to his forehead he became embarrassed and cried," said Delaware County investigator Nancy Marvin. "That made his face red. It stood out even more, which made it worse."

The boy's mother -- Sherri A. Feuston, 30 -- when questioned about the incident, told police she was just playing around with her son. She said she sat on the boy's chest and wrote the word as they were roughhousing.

1. WTF is the "b-word?"

For pete's sake...

[DonEBrook]

2. Boy

3. The B-word?

:shrug:

Maybe I should know it, but I'm not sure.

Lot's of felonies here, even if it was "banana."

4. I can't think of one that couldn't appear in print in

a newspaper. Bastard comes to mind. Bitch comes to mind. But I can't think of one that is among the words that newspapers won't print.

7. Those are what I thought of. What else is there?

The idea of a grown woman, and I bet she's no lightweight, sitting on a nine-year-old's chest and "playfully" carving a word into his forehead, is disturbing. She didn't have a Sharpie?

18. Bastard was the first one I thought of, but makes no sense if they were just "playing"

[MineralMan]

19. How about "Baptist?"

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Yeah, that cuts to the bone. *snarf*

5. Bitch...

Her, not him.

There's a picture of his forehead. Not easy to make out in the picture, but I do believe it says bitch.

[MineralMan]

6. Ah, I see it now.

Bitch? The newspaper can't print the word, but they can show a photo of it on the kid's head. Buncha morons!

13. Apparently, the boy's assesment of her was correct n/t

8. Bush?

Why would anyone want to label their son as a Bush?

[Arkana]

9. Why did I immediately think of B-Girl from the election?

[Liberal_in_LA]

10. crossed my mind also.

11. Blaspheme? Baptist? Booger? Bauxite? Born-again? Bigot? Bestiality? Boner? Bisexual? Buggery?

[WillParkinson]

12. You said boner...

Duuuuude.

14. A more likely story is that he called her a bitch and she decided

to prove once and for all that she really is!

15. Sat on his chest or straddled him?

This woman used a crayon. If she used something sharp then there would be a case.
It was a dumb thing to to, but she wasn't trying to hurt him. The boy apparently wasn't otherwise hurt.
Too many people are over reacting over this. At worst this woman may need some supervision. That is all.

This country thinks throwing people in jail for outrageous lengths of time for minor offenses teaches something. That in itself is abuse. In this country the punishment is quite often worse that the crime.

Jail time seems to be the answer to everything unless you are rich and/or guilty of war crimes. In this case I say lessen learned, now leave her alone.

16. Didn't anybody tell her the election was over?

:rofl:

[liberalmuse]

17. As punishment...

she ought to be held down while the 'C' word is scratched into her forehead. That child will never forget this.

[firedupdem]

21. What the fuck is wrong with this nut case lady? n/t

[Quantess]

22. Remember the mom who burned WIMP on her 6 year old daughter with a cigarette?

These moms sound like soulmates.
:(

[SoCalDem]

23. Make them CELL-mates and give them each a woodburning set

:)

[greyl]

24. Balzac? nt

[Iggo]

25. Bush.

26. I don't condone the use of torture

but this article makes me want to do some horrible things to that mother. I'll try to remember that people usually do those kind of things because they have an abusive past of their own they haven't dealt with.
