In a disturbing incident on a recent flight, a female plane passenger, Kristy Crampton, has been charged with child abuse for violently slamming a boy’s head against the window.
The exchange began when the boy insulted Crampton by calling her ‘fat Miss Piggy’. The heated exchange quickly escalated, resulting in the violent act against the young passenger.
She had been on board the Allegiant Air flight when she is said to have attacked a child that called her ‘fat’ and referred to her as ‘Miss Piggy’, the Muppets character.
In an arrest report seen by DailyMail.com, Crampton is said to have started throwing punches at the child just before takeoff after he allegedly said she was too fat to sit in a seat.
Witnesses told officers that she punched the unknown boy and then hit him with a water bottle before slamming his head into an airplane window, the report said. Cops did not say how old the child was.
It remains unclear at this time what the relationship between Crampton and the boy are. The family declined to provide statements to officers.
One witness told cops that the child ‘did nothing wrong’ and that ‘the woman was not correcting, she was abusing [redacted], whipping the s*** out of the kid.’
Officers on the scene say they spoke with a Jeffrey Crampton, who informed them that the unknown boy was ‘having behavioral issues’ on the flight and at Disney.
The pilot of the flight, destined for Hagerstown in Maryland, called police onto the flight for help where she was then taken into custody at the gate.
When questioned, officers say Crampton told them the child was ‘very rude’ and ‘disrespectful’ during their trip to Disney.
After the comment about her weight, Crampton told officers that she took the phone of the child away and started ‘smacking’ him.
That was only after the youth shoved her arm of her armrest, she told officers.
According to the police report the argument over the phone had started after the boy had refused to download Uber on his phone.
The boy had questioned why they needed it on the plane and couldn’t wait until they landed which resulted in the argument.
Officers said: ‘It was determined that Kristy went beyond typical disciplinary actions with multiple strikes to the head as well as pushing [his] head into the window.
‘As a result, Kristy was placed under arrest for domestic violence/child abuse. Kristy was transported to the Seminole County Jail and turned over to corrections deputies.’
This serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of letting one’s emotions take control and resorting to violence. As adults, we should strive to treat kids with kindness and respect, regardless of the circumstances.
Moral of the story: don’t mess with people on planes, especially if they’re not afraid to put you in your place.
