ORLANDO, Fla. - A Maryland woman has been arrested and charged with child abuse after allegedly striking a boy aboard a plane at Orlando Sanford Airport, authorities said.
Kristy Crampton, 46, of Hagerstown, Maryland, allegedly hit the child after he called her "fat" and "Miss Piggy" on a flight home from Disney World on Memorial Day, according to a Sanford Airport Police report.
Witnesses told police that Crampton struck the boy and slammed his head against a window following a verbal argument. One witness described the incident as abuse, stating the "woman was not correcting the child, she was abusing him, whipping the s*** out of the kid."
Crampton told police that the boy had been disrespectful throughout their trip. When she took away his phone as punishment, he allegedly pushed her arm off the armrest, at which point she struck him, the report says. The relationship between Crampton and the boy was not made available.
Crampton was taken into custody and transported to Seminole County Jail, where she was charged with child abuse. She was released on a $10,000 bond the following day.

Don't start nothing, won't be nothing.
Many of the FLA airports are filled with the same type of people. Last time I flew out of West Palm PBI I said there must have been a weight Watchers Convention. The early boarding was at least 15 electric scooters long.
Good post.
We can hope he learned a lesson.
A few years back, cops in the Red city of Gainesville, Florida, were walking through a neighborhood between houses searching for a perp, and the cops, looking into a window spotted a woman spanking her child. She was arrested and booked for the crime of “beating” her child.
They would have thrown my parents in prison, and me as well. However, my brother and sister and I all grew up to have professional careers, and we later also raised normal high performing well rounded children, including both a West Point and an Annapolis graduate.
Liberals like to use the word “beat”. Regardless, spanking worked for centuries to create polite societies. Look at what we have now.
Abused for telling the truth a woman didn’t like hearing.
I’m sure he said it totally unprovoked. /sarc
The Biden Family Rule: never call a fat person fat
At about age 10, a normal sized boy develops the strength to hit back at most women, which is the very same moment physical abuse from women ceases. That puts the probable age of the boy at 9 or less.
#1 killer of skinny people is messing with fat people
Sounds like those were the drop-outs.
Regards,
I noticed the name and went looking up a local filthy rich businessman who went from a small used tire business 40 years ago to being big in real estate through hard work.
So he’s got a father and apparently a snotty rich kid attitude.
Crampton is a “ big name” locally.
The people who know them are consistently saying the boy is a punk, basically.
I’m surprised she wasn’t wearing her nicest, “I’m just here for the treats,” t-shirt.
I’d still be eating through a straw.
For some punk to speak to their parent that way- especially after spending potentially thousands to take them to Disney?????? If I were that brat’s parent, I would just get them birthday cards and Christmas cards instead of presents until they apologized.
Ah, yes.... the miracle flights. I worked many - the elderly parents would go visit their kids and all would be mostly infirm, vulnerable and fragile - and in wheelchairs. But, by God when we landed in Florida, their home planet, they would all jump up like Olympic athletes, fighting to be the first off the plane with nary a wheelchair in sight.
Woman arrested at Sanford airport after hitting child on plane who called her ‘fat,’ police say
Get a load of this...
...The report says the family declined to give statements to police...
I think CPS needs to make a visit to that home. Especially if that child's parents were on that plane and allowed this.
The kid’s a brat.
The woman’s a bully.
There’s no “good guy” in this situation.
He may not be wrong, but the little pecker still needs to respect his elders.
True....but it sounded also like she was overflowing her seat and intruding into his space. I can see why anybody would find that annoying/offensive.
My thoughts, exactly. Her picture indicates you and I were right.
Was the woman OK? The kid should have his mouth taped shut.
