Marcia Schleben punched her mentally disabled son (ugly mug)

[thehesbomb]

This chills my blood. If she was willing to abuse him like this in public I cannot imagine what he went through at home.

MUSKEGON COUNTY -- A Muskegon Township woman has been sentenced to probation, community service and fines for punching her mentally disabled son in a doctor's office waiting room.

Muskegon County Circuit Judge James M. Graves Jr. last week sentenced Marcia Lynn Schleben, 52, of 1345 S. Walker to 2 1/2 years on probation, 40 hours of community service, counseling as required by a probation agent and $328 in fines and costs.

Schleben pleaded no contest June 24 to second-degree child abuse, a felony. Under a plea agreement with the Muskegon County Prosecutor's Office, she will be allowed to withdraw that plea and plead to a misdemeanor if she successfully completes probation.

Norton Shores Police arrested Schleben in January after a reported incident at Norton Family Practice, 3535 Park.

Schleben was yelling at her 11-year-old son, who has a mental disability, because he wouldn't get up when she told him to, witnesses told police.

She then dragged the child out of his chair and he fell to the floor, where she punched him twice in the head with her closed fist, according to police.

Did she SNAP or what? I'm sure caring for a child or an adult for that matter with disabilities, can be frustrating at times but walk the fuck away...far away if you have to. And admit to someone that it is just too much to handle BEFORE you harm anyone.

She doesn't look like an avid walker. If you are required to care for a disabled anything, you should be required to be fit enough to do so.(period)
solely my opinion, The stress alone must be unbarely and exercise has so many benefits including stress relief.

Am I reading this wrong or are you implying an overweight person shouldn't be allowed to care for someone who is disabled?

seriously, give me this bitch's address... *I'LL* go punch the cow out.

What the hell? How does someone punch a child let alone one who is handicapped?

I am not implying anything, I am stating if you are unhealthy yourself that taking care of a disable person will be even more of a challenge. I also said that taking care of yourself physically and emotionally (stress) should be a requirement due to the fact that taking care of another person is so difficult.

fit enough to do so.(period)

You should be neither too scrawny to be of use or too out of shape to maintain your health. I said absolutely nothing about weight. Many skinny people are more out of shape then those that don't fall into the AMA weight figures.

I did infer that she looked out of shape by a mug shot alone, and probably isn't a fair inference.
