Florida -- 10Connects.com reports that Theresa Collier, a 73-year-old grandmother was arrested last week for slapping her 18-year-old granddaughter who was swearing at her.

Collier says she allowed her 18-year-old granddaughter, Felicia Collier, who had just gotten kicked out of Catholic school and is now enrolled in online classes, to use her computer to do homework. Felicia was kicked out for cursing at a nun, explained Collier.

Felicia did not want to obey her grandmother’s direction to complete her assignments.

"She kept repeating the F-word to me, about the whole family.  She just went on and on and I just got so upset, I got up and slapped her across the face," she told 10 Connects, "She grabbed my wrists and I couldn't get out of it and she let one go and she punched me in the cheek here."

The unruly teenager then called the police who arrived at the house and arrested her grandmother.

"If an officer on scene finds probable cause to arrest a person, because they've committed domestic battery, then our policy is a mandatory arrest of that person," said Lt. Loux, "The discretion does not come because the victim does not want to prosecute.  It doesn't come because the victim has remorse for calling police." ...

The grand daughter got off lightly with a slap.

The mouthbreathers at Rationalwiki consider the slap to be the equivalent of "beating up children."

Will the Grand daughter figure out how to change the locks before gramma gets out?

Grand daughter sounds like a real loser.

...and time passes slowly at my house.

My son has been lucky, he still has an eyeball on either side of his nose.....pull a stunt like the granddaughter and that might not be true any longer.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

If she is 18 then she is a adult in the eyes of the law she needs to pull up her big girl panties and deal with it
