Dunedin is a lovely little town, between Clearwater and Tarpon Springs, on the Gulf of Mexico, winter home of the Toronto Blue jays.

My guess: drugs or insanity.

Sounds like they need to be meeting at an emergency room instead of a doctors office. Talk about tough love!

So, was she a “typical white” or “typical black” or “typical other racial category” mother?

I live in Tampa (Brandon) and know the area very well. Dunedin is very nice.

Like I said, just another day in Florida.

LARGO -- A mother in a psychiatrist's office for supervised visitation with her 15-year-old son pulled out a dagger and drywall knife and stabbed the boy in the abdomen, then cut his throat, Largo Police Sgt. Mark Young said Saturday.

Celeste Minardi, 55, was arrested on charges of attempted murder and carrying a concealed weapon Saturday morning, accused of stabbing and slashing her son Bradley Driscoll, Young said.

Minardi is the ex-wife of Timothy Driscoll, former city attorney for St. Pete Beach. The couple were married in 1984 and divorced in 2005, with Driscoll getting custody of their son, records show.

Minardi met her son about 10 a.m. at the office of Dr. Ronald Knauss, 1301 Seminole Boulevard, about 10 a.m. for the court-ordered visit, Young said. She and her son sat on a couch while a nurse sat at a desk nearby, Young said. At first everything seemed fine as she pulled from her purse a bottle of cologne and a deck of playing cards -- but then she pulled out the two knives and began attacking her son, Young said.

The attack, using a 15-1/2 inch ornamental dagger and a 12-inch drywall knife, left the teenager with a deep stab wound to his abdomen and slashes on his neck and forehead, Young said. The boy staggered out to the lobby and collapsed, he said.

Meanwhile the nurse dialed 911 and a doctor at the office, Dr. Gerard Boutin, ordered Minardi to drop her weapons, Young said. She did. The 911 call came in at 10:19 a.m., he said.

Minardi, who gave an address of 1202 Fairway Drive in Dunedin, was being held with no bail at the Pinellas County Jail. She has no prior criminal history. Paramedics rushed the teenager to Bayfront Medical Center, where he was being treated for life-threatening injuries, Young said.

After seeing her picture in the article I cannot say I'm surprised.

Not as far as I know... But if it was for her initiation rites into islam, I’d say she passed with flying colors!

Which would cover just about everything that happens on the west coast of Florida.

Did you know Palm Harbor was once a headquarters for the KKK, or so the locals say?

Witchcraft, death metal, strip-clubs, Scientology, Bernie McCabe, and of course, the 6th Judicial Circuit, executer of disabled women.

Yeah, the west coast is so charming.

That explains a lot. That would make any woman crazy.

Just another day in Florida. Move on, nothing to see here.

I was sitting on my porch in Homestead last night. Heard 6 gunshots. Bout 20 minutes later a chopper lands in a track field near here. Stayed on the ground about 5 minutes and lifted off headed towards Miami.

Just another night in South Florida.
