Mom: Girls pounded on me at Chuck E.’s By Jennifer Rosinski Tuesday, April 26, 2005 - Updated: 10:22 AM EST
A band of female hooligans roughed up and cursed out a Clinton mother at the Leominster Chuck E. Cheese after she asked to take one picture with her family in the photo booth they had hogged for almost an hour.
``It was like a brawl you'd see at an English soccer game the way they kept hitting her,'' said a disgusted Nelson Lee, the Leominster father of two boys who broke up the assault. ``She was down in the fetal position trying to protect herself and they didn't let up.''
Eduarda Silveira, 27, and Alexandre Flor, 30, were at the packed kids' playland in the Whitney Field Mall with their 11-month-old daughter, Ana Paula Flor, for the first time when violence erupted about 7 p.m. Sunday.
``We were just really afraid,'' said Flor, a Marlboro Realtor.
Flor said Silveira asked the girls if she could cut in and take one picture with her family when it became clear the group of at least five wasn't leaving anytime soon. The girls cursed in response, but got out of the couple's way.
``(Eduarda) was standing behind the machine waiting for the picture when the other girl started to say stupid things,'' said Flor, who recounted the girl's obscenity-laden insults and his pleas for them to stop. ``She jumped up and grabbed (Eduarda's) hair. I was trying to defend her. I had my daughter in my arms.''
Silveira fell to the ground and the girls continued to kick her in the back, head and arms as Lee tried to pull each girl off.
``At one point I had to basically tackle one of the girls and say, `Listen, you need to knock it off,' '' said Lee, who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs more than 230 pounds.
Silveira went to Clinton Hospital after the attack and yesterday showed several bruises, including one on her right arm that runs from shoulder to elbow.
About a dozen state and local police from two towns descended upon the children's haven that opened in January and arrested three females Lee described as ``the most aggressive'' on assault charges. They are Claritza Castillo, 18, and Jennifer Peralta, 21, both of Fitchburg, and a 14-year-old girl from The Bronx, N.Y.
Jon Rice, Chuck E. Cheese's marketing vice president, called the fight an ``unfortunate event.'' He applauded the manager for dialing 911 and deciding to shut the doors at 8 p.m., two hours earlier than scheduled.
``I threw out the picture from the machine,'' said Flor. ``I don't want any bad reminders of that day and that picture was pivotal.''
He was smart. Had he laid a hands on either one of those "girls" he would have been locked up. This is Boston, after all.
True to da game!
The guy in the apron took time out of his pizza making to play bass, quality show that Chuck E Cheese band...
Doesn't he know you can just walk up and drop it in the right holes at kiddie places like that?
I guess that's why he took Chuckie's head. Fit of rage.
The Bronx in the hizzouse!!!
If you were to cite gun violence statistics, they would be considered "kids".
Is this the same Chuck E Cheese where a father was beaten and arrested by the police in front of his children because he didn't show his salad bar receipt to the store manager?
Many of the "parents" drop off their kids and go shopping in the mall for hours. Free daycare...
there's a good chance the couple that was attacked are indeed married. Their names are Hispanic, and in some Hispanic cultures it is common for a husband and wife to keep different last names.
'Listen, you need to knock it off.'
'OK?'
Was this Butthead's peace-love-dove teacher?
I saw them on TV. They will play the "victim" card.

Not Hillary. :^(
I once said on FR that I would deck a girl who attacked my fiance . . . I was told that I don't have manners and should never hit a girl.
Or someone having a nicotine fit. Last time I went to CEC, it was for a birthday party for my grandson. They wouldn't let me back outside to smoke a cigarette without standing in a long line to check my danged stamp on my hand. Then I had to stand in a long line to get back in. Ridiculous. And their food sucks.
"They probably beat him up if they do. I saw a pic of these girls, they're real heifers."
Possibly carpet munchers, too. Prone to violence.
