Mother arrested after allegedly fighting with her 2-year-old

SALT LAKE CITY — A mother who police say "fought" with her 2-year-old daughter for up to two minutes, was arrested for investigation of intentional child abuse.

Brandie Trapier, 27, took her daughter to Primary Children's Medical Center Wednesday. Doctors found the child had an "orbital fracture" as well as "bruises on her head, neck, back and legs," according to a Salt Lake County Jail report.

Trapier originally told police her daughter fell off a couch, the report states. She later said she went in to check on the young girl who began "kicking and punching her," and then "fought" with her daughter on the floor for approximately two minutes.

That's a new twist to it.

[misssmartypants]

A brawl with a two year old?! Who the hell does that?

[tmdgirl]

WTF??

[Nell]

You know, i usually just walk away when my toddlers lose their nut. In a pinch i sit on them. Not really, lol. I just kind of hover over her as she freaks on the couch or floor and i scream "I AM SQUISHING THE BABY!" and she laughs so much she stops yelling.

That takes time though. Maybe i should just punch her out next time.

[walkingeagle]

Maybe I'm just a twisted fellow, but that made me laugh Nell!

[Nell]

That is the point. I do alot of weird shit like that to shock her out of the grumpies. I also bribe her with candy. I am old and tired.

I think everyone has play fought with their babies or grandbabies like Nell said hover over till you get them to laugh( I do it with the baby now when he gets in pissy mood)
But this bitch needs to to be bitch slapped over and over again
Theres a limit and people like her that dont know their limit shouldnt be allowed to have kids

[walkingeagle]

I used to just roll over the back of the couch right on top of the girls when they were hogging it up!

[Robynne]

Seriously, I know what she's saying. 2 year old children are really tough. You have to be able to defend yourself.
I just got into a fight with my 2 year old son, and he kicked my ass.

I think the best thing to do is throw a tantrum yourself, show them how they look when they lie on the floor screaming. My daughter throws her arms up in the air as her voice hets higher and higher and when I copy her she laughs and wises up.

[Bekki Boo]

Im being held against my will in my home by my 3 year old..oh yea..lil shit's strong as hell.. If i disagree with him i get a backhand in the mouth..
He threatens to take me to build a bear workshop and stuff me like a teddy bear..Im terrified. Please someone help me.. HELP ME!!! OUCH he just slapped me.. Omfg..

*grabs knees and rocks back and forth like the crying game* I'll be a good mom..i'll be a good mom..i'll be a good mom....*pisses herself*

Just step over them and move on!

When my oldest was three she would wig out and try to attack me. She wasn't particularly easy to redirect, and the one time she ran at me over and over and over for 20 minutes - she's maybe just a bit too much like her Mom sometimes.

Picking her up was out of the question - you know the cartoons of the Taz, the Tasmanian devil doing circles around and around - yeah, she'd do that. Seriously, it might be hard to imagine, but she'd literally go up and over me and around me and to stop her from hitting the ground I'd essentially have to juggle her. And this time she was too nasty to want to try and wrestle her up a flight of stairs where I would have to sit holding her door closed so she wouldn't come back out and try it again until she calmed down.

Well, I tripped her every time she came at me for the whole twenty minutes. Sweep her feet out, direct her to the floor so would only land on her bum with minimal impact and then I'd step back.

It was so ridiculous, she stopped doing it after that.

So, can two and three year olds be attacking devils? Sure. But I'm not that big, and you don't need to literally wrestle them. You are the bigger person, you can choose to not engage.

BTW, she's a very nice tween now. Still gets stubborn as all get out on occasion though.

[walkingeagle]

WOW! It sounds like I missed out on a lot of fun!

[Aeon]

I probably prolonged it because after the 10th time I started laughing because it was so ridiculous.

The woman needs some parenting lessons.

YES PLEASE!!! AHHH AHHH NO STOP HITTING ME!!!!.... This is what happens when i don't turn on bubble guppies when he wants it on.. OUCH .. DAMMIT.. HE"S JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON ME..alright..thats enough of this shit..Where's my wiffle bat?

Except my 3yo is getting wise to my ways and he's got the jaw kick down pretty good....my 7yo can literately karate kick like a pro...damn, should have never showed him that move.

This bitch outta tango with me. I will show her how to play nice. *wicked laugh*

I'm learning the tricks of gorilla glue and duct tape. My ceiling is such an inconspicuous place to hide children.

Yeah she looks like she could fight a 2 year old. Wonder how she'd hold up against someone her own age.

[TKaz]

My mom would ignore me but my AUNT...she'd throw a tantrum too. She's throw herself on the floor next to me & bang her fists on the floor, kick her legs & yell. I'd just sit up & look at her like she was mentall challenged....but it worked. My kids, not so much ...but it was an old school tactic that worked on vintage me. ;D

Do the "squishing their head " thing you know on that canadian show, the kids in the hall. where you take your fingers and line their head in your pinched fingers, shut one eye and say "Im squishing your head, im squishing your head, kind of makes them shut up...

This is one of those instances where a comma can totally change the meaning of a sentence. It would have been so much better if the comma were moved just slightly to the right........

With my first child, Grumpy, I would stand over her and let her throw her tantrum. Sometimes, I'd turn my back and act like I was ignoring her. She liked the attention and this usually cooled her jets.

With my second, Happy, I would make suggestions like, "Why don't you try holding your breath? I'm told that's a great tactic." He never would, though. So, I'd say, "You need to throw yourself on the floor and kick your heels." Still no. All my suggestions usually distracted him from his tantrum. Since he was late learning to talk and communicate, he didn't really have words, but his therapist was trying to get him to make sounds and things. So, if his lip was out, I'd use my finger to flap it up and down a little. Then I'd do it to mine, adding noise. He'd really love it and he'd make some noise the next time I'd flip his lip.

LOL, that show was so funny :laugh:

[ibutterflyaway]

I hope I'm not too late for the tantrum ideas! When my boys did it I'd cheer them on.
I'd say "Wow! You're really doing great at throwing yourself on the floor! You could win
an award with that whine too" I'd just smile and clap and keep telling them they're throwing
the worlds greatest tantrum and mommy is so proud. Worked like a charm. Good times.

Depending on how my son was freaking out, i would either let him wind himself down, or I would pick him up and wrap my body around him, like swaddling him, but with my arms and legs. Fortunately the older boy is more slender, and not much of a fighter, his usual response is to try to get away, which I can handle. The baby hasn't yet entered the terrible twos yet, but I think he's going to be more of a fighter, so I'll have to figure out what works with him. But regardless of how physical things get, anything I do would be to subdue or redirect, not to beat down, I don't want to hurt them, just help them calm themselves down and learn control.

One thing my mom did, when I was still throwing tantrums at 6 or 7 years of age, was whip out the tape recorder during my last one (yeah, her tactic was that effective), and while I was throwing a shit fit in my room, she was outside the door taping me. After I calmed down and came out, she played it for me. Being the oldest child, and not wanting to seem like anything but a big girl, once I heard how ridiculous I sounded, I never threw another tantrum like that again. Now when I was 10 or 11, I did the normal pre-teen I hate you schtick, but my mom always said, that's okay, I love you, so that lost it's attraction real quick.

[Parrot Toes]

With my daughters, I would always look at them and say, "Pfft. You're crying like a girl." They would look at me and say, "Mom, I am a girl." Then I'd act all shocked like I must have lost my mind, they'd always start giggling, then usually a tickle-fest would ensue and sure as shit, what ever they were crying about would be forgotten.

With the boys, I would sit down beside them and start crying louder and really dramatically. If they got up and left, I would follow them. When they tried to push me away, I'd yell out how that hurt and get all dramatic. Most of the time, I won and they just thought I was silly or retarded. Either way, there'd also be a tickle-fest.

Kids are so easy to mess with and confuse when they are upset, that I really don't understand how people can get frustrated and hurt/kill them. Either walk away and calm down or get your frustrations out the fun way, and mess with their heads until they laugh. It's such a stress release too. I swear by it. LOL. Then again, I really love to mess with my kids to get laughs from them and shock them. They all have a great sense of humour too for it.

My kids were weird ass robots and I can't recall either of them ever throwing a tantrum when they were little (although my daughter has the teenage backtalk down to a T). However, my sisters lil one's had them quite often. I stayed with her for a while when I was a teenager so I could help out with the kids and whenever they started to throw a tantrum I would set a big mirror in front of them and turn on some Metallica...I think the combination of seeing themselves acting like a fool and the confusion about the music is what made them forget about what they were pissed off at.

[AngelFire]

Same here with my 6 year old......I mimick the whiny voice and his fits, and he stops what he is doing just to see meact the fool. Sometimes, he ignores me and I am the one that stops the fit
