APPLETON — Police say a drunken woman repeatedly choked her 11-year-old daughter on
Sunday after becoming angered by the poor play of the Green Bay Packers.
The 36-year-old Grand Chute woman was charged Monday in Outagamie County Court with
felony child abuse and misdemeanor counts of bail jumping and disorderly conduct.
Police were called about 8:15 p.m. Sunday to a Grand Chute hotel where the girl told police
her mother grabbed her by the neck during the football game. The woman was drinking alcohol
and became upset because the team was losing.
The girl said that after the Packers lost 19-14 to the Kansas City Chiefs, her mother choked her
again with enough force that the girl couldn’t breathe, and asked her, “Do you want to die?” the
criminal complaint says.
Police saw red marks and scratches on the girl’s neck.
The Post-Crescent is not naming the woman to protect the identity of the child.
The child abuse charge carries a maximum sentence of 12½ years of imprisonment and
$25,000 in fines. The woman could face up to nine months in jail if convicted of bail jumping
and 90 days on the disorderly conduct count. She is being held in jail on a $2,500 cash bond.
Look, I am not about to endorse child abuse, but I do think there are some special circumstances
here. I remember how I felt after the Patriots lost in the Super Bowl on their quest to go 19 - 0; I
was down, I just felt empty. My buddy Danny was honestly depressed. He gave up on sports
altogether and didn't watch any sporting event for over two years.
And that's the thing; if you don't deal with your emotions right away, they just fester until it all boils
over.
This past Sunday, the Green Bay Packers headed into a game against the lowly Kansas City Chiefs
in search of win number 14 and extending their perfect season, only to look terrible and throw history
down the drain. If Packer Mom here didn't vent her emotions, who knows what would have happened.
She may have gone on a killing spree. This way, she just choked out her daughter a bit, gets it over
with and can move on to week 16 of the NFL season.
Maybe the 11 year old should get some Jujitsu lessons from Christmas. That's the one where you
use your opponent's force, strength, and weight against them, right? I would imagine that would be
the way to go because I picture this Packer Mom coming in at two and a half bills.
