Mother lets son drive golf cart at resort, gets jailed for child abuse
The Charlotte Observer ^ | May 21, 2016 | Mark Washburn

Posted on 05/22/2016 9:57:33 AM PDT by EveningStar

On the second day of her dream vacation on exclusive Bald Head Island, Julie Mall went with her family to the beach to catch the sunset. Her 11-year-old son asked to drive the golf cart back to their $1,000-a-day rented cottage.

It was dusk, no traffic on the path and his father would sit next to him. A two-block, 30-second ride. She said sure. What could go wrong?

In the next four hours, Mall says she was pinned to the ground by police, repeatedly accused of being drunk, frogmarched barefoot aboard a ferry in handcuffs, jailed in leg irons and charged with child abuse.

Perhaps she could claim that the 11 yr old self-identified as an adult.

Two questions:

1. Why didn’t the cops shoot the dog? (Dereliction of duty!)

2. Why resist arrest? (You can beat the charge, but you can’t beat the ride.)

One comment:

Many people should lose their jobs over this. Starting WAYYYYY at the top.

Don’t take too literally the word
of this drama queen.

FTA


She says she was led inside and down a hall. Hunter stopped at a conference room where Mall says she saw several officers sitting around a table drinking Red Bulls and watching what appeared to be an inappropriate video on a big screen TV.

“It was like the Twilight Zone,” she says. “There’s fully naked women in a forest bouncing around.”

It was a Discovery Channel series called “Naked and Afraid,” the village says, a series that tests survival skills of contestants dropped into the wild with no clothes and few provisions.

There is no situation so bad that it cannot be made worse by the addition of an aggressive, over-zealous “peace officer”. Or three.

I did too and concur with you. As for the post above yours, the person needs to read the whole article before making the post.

“Same [the woman] was physically assaultive..."

Yeah, all 5 foot 4 inches of her. Wonder what kind of beef slab Officer Hunter is?

Notice how “the system” operates. The cop is dirty so he's told not to show up for court a couple of times then the DA “dismisses” the case. But then there's this stupid “refile law” that serves to keep the citizen from taking further legal action. I support good law enforcement, but from my perspective, there's not much of it in evidence here in this country today. 95% of cops give the honest 5% a bad name. Just mostly thuggish people who have been given guns and badges and sent out to harass and harm the people who pay them.

If the kid was drunk, as the cop says, why did they let him go and not get tested? That would have sealed it against the mom.

As it is, the police were very heavy-handed. She shouldn't have let the kid drive the cart, though.

LOL!

The peasants on the regular ferry were told they had to wait for the next ferry because "a prisoner" was "being transported".

Yeah, the "dangerous" 5 foot 4 inch "felon". Wonder if they had to mask her up like Hannibal Lecter?

Whotta buncha drama queens.

Oh, yeah I remember! I was around 8 when we spent summer up in the Catskills. My dear old Dad, an avid golfer started teaching me the fundamentals of the sport, and also gave me my first driving lessons on those old Cushman 3-wheelers.
