Florida -- 10Connects.com reports that Theresa Collier, a 73-year-old grandmother was arrested last week for slapping her 18-year-old granddaughter who was swearing at her.
Collier says she allowed her 18-year-old granddaughter, Felicia Collier, who had just gotten kicked out of Catholic school and is now enrolled in online classes, to use her computer to do homework. Felicia was kicked out for cursing at a nun, explained Collier.

My mother would have done the same thing if my kid was cursing at her. I would have thanked her and then had my own little "chat" at home.
Not the grandmother, the punk-ass kid.
The only good news in this is that most people in newspaper comment section, by far, support grandma.
I’ve love to see this case on Judge Judy!
Some kids need to be horse-whipped.
Sad world we live in. Slapping, spanking, any type of physical discipline now gets the police involved?
Of course we don’t want people beaten up and injured, but, from time immemorial, spanking and physical restraint has been used on misbehaving kids. Until the current generation, anyway.
So the 18 year old girl, a little (blank) in training, can rain down all the F bombs she wants, and nobody in her family can say or do anything. Instead, it’s time to arrest granny. Unbelievable.
Guess who just got written out of the will.
This is a big effin’ day for future liberal votes!
My grandma never would have slapped me. Never. She would have grabbed the biggest wooden spoon in sight first.
Maybe Hillary will get the UN involved...
United Nations’ threat: No more parental rights
Expert: Pact would ban spankings, homeschooling if children object

Mine used the back of a wooden hairbrush.
This little incident ended up costing her $2500 in lawyer fees to have the charges dropped. Sounds like grandma will be spending her savings doing the same thing.
Kids today expect everything to be handed to them, they dont think they should have to work just to pay bills, if they cant spend their money on instant gratification they dont want to work ...
What sort of parenting produces a foul-mouthed, ungrateful, 18-year-old dreg of society? I’d like to know so I do everything in my power to avoid those practices with my toddlers.
The main problem with this grandchild is that her own mother and father failed to DISCIPLINE her when she was younger.
With a Jury Trial, Gramma will be found Not Guilty. The 18 year old will be incarcerated before she’s 21 if she keeps acting like a TOOL [Totally Out Of Line].
Spare the rod, spoil the child. Every now and then the little ones need an attention getter.
This girl needs a little BOOT CAMP!
Mine would have used a bar of soap.
Folks, according to the LAW, 18 is an adult. So consider your position carefully. Should one adult slap (physically assault) another adult because they were cursed at?
