Its time to bring this back. I've been
doing more Florida based stories but not having them in this segment
and that's just silly. This 46 year old mother (and its a hard 46)
named Rachel Salters was arrested for attacking her 12 year old son
with a bag of potatoes. Yeah. That is a thing that happened. It
started when he asked her to make him some dinner and ended with an
attack. No reports say what was said that happened in between those
two actions which I think is important to know. When Rachel started
hitting the kid, let's call him Spud, with the bag he ran into the
bathroom and locked the door.
Well, that wasn't stopping Rachel who
Kool Aid Man'd her way through the locked door and continued hitting
him with the bag. When the bag broke because shit is cheaply made
nowadays, she started throwing individual potatoes at him as he hid
between the toilet and bathtub. When police arrived and asked her
about the bathroom door she said “I don't know.” Then after she
was arrested she said “I didn't hit him with the potato, I only
threw it at him!” That feeling you just had? That's called
confusion. She also stated that it isn't a crime that she hit him
because she only threw the potatoes at him. Spud was not hurt and
Rachel was charged with felony child abuse and tampering with
evidence for moving potatoes after cops told her not to.
