- A woman used her four-week-old baby as a weapon in a domestic dispute, swinging the infant through the air and striking her boyfriend with the child, authorities said.
The boy was in serious but stable condition Monday at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, police said.
"Never, never, never. I can never remember anything like this," District Attorney Bradley Foulk told the Erie Times-News.
Chytoria Graham, 27, of Erie, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and simple assault. She was held Monday in the Erie County Jail in lieu of US$75,000 bail.
The infant, whose name was not released, suffered a fractured skull and some bleeding in the brain, authorities said. His head hit Graham's boyfriend, the baby's father, police Lt. Dan Spizarny said.
Authorities removed four other children from Graham's home and placed them with the Erie County Office of Children and Youth, Foulk said.

However, I found the widespread excusing of Andrea Yates' actions to be absolutely unfathomable.
People were on television actually blaming the father and even the children themselves for her actions.
People were actually claiming that a ntural reaction for a woman with five small children might be to kill them all from the sheer stress - as if there are not plenty of women in America with five small children (including four friends of mine who each have 5 or more little ones at home) who manage their busy lives without feeling the need to murder anyone.
It was absolutely disgusting.

It was bizarre.
Articulate and to the point.Well said!
Seems there is, after all, a reason to stone a woman to death.
A misogynist is a man who hates women as much as women hate each other.

It's Bush's fault, of course.

“Men are like pumpkins. It seems like all the good ones are either taken or they've had everything scraped out of their heads with a spoon.”
What has that got to do with anything?
Newsflash: There are horrible white parents as well. Andrea Yates comes to mind.
Believe me, I don't understand women, and I'm not sure that I want to, but you seem to truly detest them.
Do you have a point with all these quotes or are you usually this much of an idiot?
Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
