Cops: Mom Hit Girl, 1
Cops: Mom Hit Girl, 1
By Keiko Morris- STAFF WRITER- July 5, 2003- A Queens woman who police say slapped and punched her 1-year-old daughter in a Hempstead parking lot while shoppers yelled at her to stop was charged Friday with endangering the welfare of a child, Nassau police said. Candace Phillips, 27, of 10926 126th St., Ozone Park, had been standing in line with her daughter in the Old Navy store on Fulton Avenue at about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday when she became agitated for some reason, possibly because of the long lines, said Det. Lt. Kevin Smith, a Nassau police spokesman. Phillips threw down her merchandise, he said, grabbed her child and dragged her almost backward out of the store, causing the child to hit a clothing rack and knock it onto the floor. Other shoppers watched as Phillips threw the child into her 1992 Toyota Tercel. The child struck the car door as she was tossed into the car and began to cry, police said. Then, Phillips slapped and punched the child about her body, witnesses told police. The other shoppers yelled for Phillips to stop, Smith said. They told her that they were calling police and that they were taking down her license plate number. She cursed at them and drove away, police said. Hempstead Village police, Nassau Third Squad detectives and Nassau Bureau of Special Operations officers launched an investigation and arrested her Friday at 12:45 a.m. at her home. Nassau's Child Protective Services temporarily took custody of the child and then placed her with a relative. Phillips' brother, however, said that he saw no bruises on his niece and that he had never witnessed his sister hit her child. "The only thing I've seen her do is verbally reprimand her child," said Stephen Phillips, of Elmont. Her brother said that police had come by his and his mother's home looking for Phillips earlier this week. And he still did not know exactly what happened Wednesday evening. "We were raised with morals and I wouldn't tolerate that abuse," Stephen Phillips said. Candace Phillips was arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead Friday and ordered held on $4,000 bail.

Mom Hit Girl, 1
If this happened the way the wittedness stated this mothers is in serious
need of counseling. I'm concerned with the fact that the mother was never seen spanking her child prior to this. Could this buildup of emotions from not spanking her child contributed to this incident? Its really hard to say for sure. This story seems a little far fetched, but I think the mother needs some help managing her anger as well as her child. wrote in message ...
