i saw this in the newspaper this morning, and i don't know whether i should classify this as a mortifying event that shocked me and left me speechless, or if it falls under the category of hilarious because it involves a baby as a weapon.

ERIE, PA.-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 yesterday 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 yesterday in the Erie County Jail in lieu of $75,000 (U.S.) 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 Lieut. 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.
