I Believe the Children Are Our Future

The incident started when Quacheena Juett, 33, pulled in to a gas station in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., behind Randa St. Cyr. Juett confronted St. Cyr, who she says was taking up too much space, but St. Cyr refused to move until she finished pumping gas. That’s when Juett took matters into her own hands, or rather her daughter’s hands: she allegedly ordered her 12-year-old daughter to punch St. Cyr in the face. According to police, St. Cyr was unable to defend herself because she was recovering from shoulder surgery. The police report says that after her daughter attacked St. Cyr, Juett reached into St. Cyr’s car and grabbed her phone, then took off. Police were able to track her using the phone’s GPS, and Juett was arrested and charged with burglary, contributing to the delinquency or dependency of a child, resisting arrest without violence, dealing in stolen property, false ownership of a pawned item, and grand theft. (MS/South Florida Sun-Sentinel) ...Well, at least she didn’t teach her daughter to steal.
