TACOMA, Wash. – A judge has sentenced a mother to three months in jail for hitting a convicted sex offender with an aluminum baseball bat.
Before her sentencing Friday, Tammy Lee Gibson told Pierce County Superior Court Judge Susan Serko that laws were needed to keep convicted sexual predators away from children.
Gibson, 40, who has two daughters, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of third-degree assault in January. She initially was charged with second-degree assault and felony harassment, which could have meant an eight-month jail sentence if she'd been convicted.
Court papers said Gibson hit William Allen Baldwin, a 24-year-old sex offender, with the bat after accusing him of molesting her children in June 2008 even though he had not. Baldwin was living in a trailer park near Gibson.

Sounds like a homerun to me.
Whack-A-Molester
And the lawyer says it’s a “Fair resolution”.
I hope the neighbors keep a close eye on him while she’s away. He’s probably thinking “While the cat is away the sex felon can prey.”
He’s certainly a foul ball. ..........sorry.............
Apparently he wasn’t a molester. He is a convicted sex offender ... meaning he could have been convicted of mooning his gym class in high school.
Spring training. The crack of the ball against the bat. Call me a traditionalist, but I prefer the sound wood makes. But in the end, isn’t it about results? Sounds like this gal is in a league of her own.
This label can be rightly assigned to child molesters, rapists, etc. but it also assigned to many others for ‘Crimes’ that are not to the degree or depth that people usually assume. i.e., It groups many, many harmless and maybe even innocent people into a large group that subjects them to lifelong retribution.
For this mother to take a baseball bat to this man is just plain wrong IMO. Despite providing the Public with meaningful warnings and information, this whole ‘Sex Offender’ hysteria has the potential for injustice as far as I can see it.
Yeow!
Sounds like she has the right idea and only needs a little help in the target acquisition area
That’s why I like aluminum bats, not only do they make the sweet PING sound, they wash off with running water.
"Sounds like a homerun to me."
Only if the rule of law and justice is completely arbitrary.
Would’ve been a “double head-er”...if only he was guilty. LOL
I agree with what I infer from your post, that is, that the label of Sex Offender is too easily and too broadly applied.
It really de-values the impact.
I have a friend that is a sex offender now.
His Sister had a baby. She was changing the baby’s diaper, when he said, “Oh, what a cute little bumpilinka she has, just like her Mommy!”, and gave her a little tweak on the bum.
Her husband, who hated her Brother, became enraged, and called the cops. You know the outcome.
The story says that he didn’t do what she accused him of... and this is exactly the very predictable result of those moronic registration laws. An innocent man was battered (literally, LOL), and most here will cheer. So sad that conservatives cheer at the decline of a once-great republic, and a once-just legal system.
There is nothing like having one of these bad boys next to you. This not a story to side-track with “mooning” comment.
Unfortunately, for many it seems to mean that for the rest of their life it is okay for "decent" people to attack them with a baseball bat.
She could've taken a lesson from this guy.
This poster does not advocate violence, but as they say in the streets, stuff happens.. My advice, stay out of the streets... or carry a bigger 'bat'. :-)
Interesting case considering that a homeless sexual offender(classified as most likely to re-offend) just killed a 12 yr old girl last week in Vancouver Wa. In his confession, he said he killed her because she giggled at him in response to his solicitation for sex.
Gibson hit William Allen Baldwin, a 24-year-old sex offender, with the bat “after accusing him of molesting her children” in June 2008
It seems to me that she must have had a reason to think this! How strong is the bond with your children?
Another liberal court!
Level 3 sex offenders should not be out in public. They should be incarcerated. Perps like Baldwin pose a high risk to the community and are a threat to re-offend if provided the opportunity. They should never be allowed to live in a community like this.
If they are released they should live in the judge’s neighborhood not in a trailer park with loads of kids around.
Thanks for that piece..
Not sure what the laws are there as to where that Level offender can live, he is probably just one of many that are living in similar conditions.
I subscribe to state notifications if a sex offender moves within 3 miles of my home. But I always investigate exactly what the person is convicted of. Many of them are things I'm not at all concerned with.
Ahhhh......Aluminum bats. My weapon of choice! :)
PING! PING! PING! PING! PING!
Ripe for abuse and overreaction by similarly unbalanced individuals.
I have the same problem with these Amber Alerts. I’m not going to report a sighting that matches their description until I know what the case is. In many cases, it is a parent trying to protect their child from some anal sphincter at Social Services.
Free her now.
“unbalanced” may be the case here as far as the recipient of Ping.

So let me get this straight. Your friend said to his own sister that her daughter (his niece) has a cute rear end just like her mother (his sister)? That does sound a little creepy. I have a sister that is considered attractive, but for me to say, "gee sis, you have a nice bumpilinka."
I don’t think it’s creepy, at all. Brothers and Sisters tease each other all the time, all throughout life.
No, teacher317, conservatives DO NOT “cheer at the decline of a once-great republic, a once-great legal system.” We detest the pernicious activities of the left which have done so much to damage both our republic and our legal system. And we celebrate the actions of individuals who have the courage to stand up for themselves, their families, their nation and their rights.
LOL - where on earth did you find that?
Oh my God. This monster lives all those schools.
I really do believe that he should move in with the judge that let him out.
Damn it! No I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head.
“Ahhhh......Aluminum bats. My weapon of choice! :)”
Does tradition mean nothing to you? Wood was good enough for our ancestors and it’s good enough for us.
Well, he just needed a smacking! Give the lady a medal!
that’s absurd...everyone has pet names of their kids privates..as babies or toddlers
that’s sorta how you educate them as to differences and so forth as they grow up...
oui oui being quite common
My bad. LOL
I’m sympathetic to your kin’s plight...too many folks today get a sex offender tag when it’s not really that at all.
Wow! I had “Mom in the Trailer Park with a Baseball Bat,” but everybody kept telling me the right answer was “Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Revolver.”
The record indicates a single conviction as a teen. Your sense of gutter justice isn't worth spit.
"Imagine, a small group of people who *hate* obama (and his supporters) for the political beliefs they have, and yet finds a small place in their heart to have compassion for convicted child molesters."
Concern for the rule of law and the establishment of justice does not equal compassion.
