A woman is under arrest for allegedly dumping popcorn on a 2-year-old child at a movie theater back in January.
Detectives said 25-year-old Keri Karman and 61-year-old Charles Karman told the child to quiet down during the movie at a theater in Levittown on Long Island.
The girl's mother intervened then Keri Karman put her hand over the girl's mouth and started yelling and cursing at her.
Police said Keri then dumped popcorn on the girl, hit her in the head with the empty container and ran off.
The little girl suffered a contusion.
Both of the Karmans are charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Perfect response.
Finally, the light went on in her head.
Considering that some movie theaters now charge $14-15 to sit in one of those reclining theater chairs in upscale theaters, it is completely unfair for anyone to bring a small child to the theater and allow it to ruin the theater experience for people who paid that kind of money. You know a 2 y.o. cannot sit still for such an extended time, yet by bringing one to the theater, you show you don't give a ___ about others who want to enjoy the movie. I do NOT condone a stranger whacking a kid who is not their own, but the mother of the screeching kid should have immediately taken it outside and explained that this is not acceptable behavior. How else are they supposed to learn that they have to behave nicely in public places? I mostly avoid movie theaters due to foul-acting teenagers, as it is rare to see a very small kid like this there.
I wish her mother supported abortion
We have always taken ours everywhere including really uoscale restaurants...and weve had to pack up and leave a couple hundred dollars worth of food on the table if the situation couldnt be managed within one or two minutes
That only occurred a couple times and people always tended to be shocked at how well mannered even 2 year olds can be wtith the proper attention and guidance..granted they have mom 24x7 and dad every non working waking hour interacting
Whenever -parents let the kids run wild in a restaurant, I hand the kids stuff. Like the bowl of sugar packets, an open catsup bottle, silverware, full water glass, etc.
“Contusion, not concussion.”
Contusion confusion strikes again.
Bravo, HG!!
Really? Did she now? From a, probably empty, popcorn container.
Do people ever think of the realistic expectations when looking for a payout? What are they going to get from this chick?
