Police: Friends Stop Tabitha Liles After She Kicks 3yo

**Dakota Valkyrie** · May 2nd, 2012, 01:31 PM

A woman who police said kicked her 3-year-old son in the chest, reportedly because he wanted to stay at a residence and play, is in jail for child abuse, officials said Tuesday.

Tabitha Dawn Liles, 29, 121 N. Spurr St., Florence, is charged with child abuse. She was arrested Monday afternoon, according to Florence police detective Justin Wright.

Wright said the abuse reportedly took place between 8-10 p.m. Sunday at a residence on Crown Street.

“She and the little boy were at the residence visiting friends,” Wright said. “She got ready to leave and got up and told the little boy they were leaving. The boy said he didn’t want to go yet; he wanted to stay and play with friends.”

Wright said witnesses reported that Liles got mad and kicked her young son in the chest.

“I don’t know if she was going kick him again, but an adult that was at the residence quickly jumped up and stopped her from doing anything else,” Wright said.

Reports indicate Liles later left the residence and left the child with the family who lived there for the night.

Wright said police investigators were called Monday morning and told about the situation. He said the Lauderdale County Department of Human Resources was also contacted and an investigation began.

Police said Liles showed up at the Crown Street residence Monday afternoon to pick up her son.

“The people there wouldn’t give him back to her and they called police again,” Wright said.

Her friends are none too happy.

My daughter could never understand when she was a toddler why she had to leave a friend's house, or anything she was enjoying. Every day I'd go to her preschool to pick her up and she'd run away screaming, or hide, or struggle. I always felt terrible and annoyed that there was no end in sight. Sometimes I'd have to pick her up bodily and carry her out. One time she tried biting me. (She still remembers that encounter.)

Kicking the child, especially in the chest, was the wrong move. I could see a gentle side-of-the-foot nudge to the get-along, but that's about it. The fact her friends felt the need to intervene pretty much underlines the fact that the kick was not a gentle one and that Tabitha went over a line even friends couldn't support.

Oh, wow! I just looked at her FB and one of her friends says this:

AM--she kicked him in the chest across the room and when he tried gettin up she stomped on his head
MG--ya i am the one who took him too med plus and would not give him back to her
47 minutes ago
AM--well i was told she kicked him and when he tried gettin up she stomped his head....it dont matter she should have never done it to begin with....i thought she was in jail? Mindy what made her do it?
42 minutes ago
MG--she has been doing it hun but tjat was it he told the doc momme broke my bones and hurt my brain he is a smart little boy

She''s got several photos of him and of herself in the bathroom mirror. Classy.

There's a temper tantrum almost every time a play date is over. There have been times, that I'm 1/2 afraid w the kicking and screaming, some one would think I'm kidnapping them, or beat them at home and that's why they don't want to go. Never have I kicked them. Swatted behinds, yeah. Carried them upside down to the car? On occasion. But a kick to the chest, that's never okay.

I think it's pretty fucking awesome that her friends are putting her on blast. All to often we see "she'd never do this" "you don't know her" It's good little man has some folks in his corner

**AngelFire** · May 2nd, 2012, 02:13 PM

Some people have this look to them that makes me annoyed. She has the “look” that would annoy me. Ya’ know that mousy look? I wouldn’t hesitate to smack her had I seen that go down. I have zero tolerance for abusers, none. I have left parties, argued in the middle of events with stupid parents that either allow shit to happen to their kid or do it themselves.

I am pleasantly surprised that the “friends” stepped in and stopped the ugly cunt from further injuring her little boy. Most don’t do shit but wait until the kid has been severely injured, or killed.

I had to remove people from my life due to how they live and the choices they made. I had a “friend” that knew that her little girl was being molested by her Baby Daddy’s teenage son. She did nothing. Paternal grandma knew and did nothing. Her sister in law was the one who informed me of it because the little girl started acting out sexually and targeted her son…Yet she did nothing. Her excuse for not speaking up was that she didn’t want the kids removed from the mom’s care. WTF?? I felt sick to my stomach that everyone had knowledge of this happening and no one saw it fit to rescue these kids from further abuse. I made the call and I would do it again.

Now may I slap this ugly bitch, please…

**Tundratot** · May 2nd, 2012, 02:19 PM

@sanityslipping I know what you mean about worrying what people witnessing the hubbub think. I figured the only thing that kept the daycare workers from reporting me on suspicion of abuse at home was the fact that she was just as obnoxious about her arrival. She didn't want to be there, so some days she'd hide behind me and have to be held by the teacher so I could leave. Some days I'd have to carry her in. I didn't have to put her in daycare/pre-school, so she only went part-time for socialization and to make some friends. I would not have continued taking her if I thought she hated it there, but the end of the day fight to stay pretty much convinced me she was having fun.

**Dakota Valkyrie** · May 2nd, 2012, 02:28 PM

I remember quite a few times that my Temper Tantrum Queen was carted out of places she didn't want to leave. Even in the middle of winter with her outerwear just bundled around her because she wouldn't put it on. Anyone who's ever tried to strap a flailing kid into a car seat knows what a trial that can be.

I found the best way to not get riled up about the situation was to remain calm, take deep breathes, ignore the tantrum, and just do what needed to be done. Not always easy but much easier than sitting in jail for kicking my kid.

**Valasca** · May 2nd, 2012, 02:36 PM

I am SO GLAD there were "real people" there to help the child out.
I am equally glad her friends are bitching her out. Well, her EX friends.

This still happens to me sometimes. I leave my 3 year old boy and he's reaching out for me and crying. It makes me feel like the worst mother ever. He is happy and thriving at school, alas, sometimes he gets stuck in Mommy Mode. It takes every fiber of being to walk out of there and drive my ass to work instead of being like, ok, let's play hookie and go to the park!

I'm a mean mom. I would tell my kids that "The park is sleeping" in excuse why we couldn't stop and play. One day one of the twins excitedly informed me that "Those kids on the swings are going to get in trouble for waking up the park!".

**cubby** · May 2nd, 2012, 03:17 PM

My younger son had to be dragged kicking and screaming everywhere he went until he was about 5, then it was I don't have any friends, nobody likes me, nobody plays with me....etc, but when I would go to pick him up there he'd be right in the middle of the group playing up a storm so much so that I would have to drag him out screaming.

Putting him in a car seat was an absolute joy, he could get out of every one. It had a bar that came down over his head that you then snapped into the the seat, in a 2 door car it was absolutely impossible to put a 2 year old into it when he didn't want to get in.

But I've never ever kicked him, I've swatted his bottom and I've turned his face to me to get his attention and I've picked him up and carried him out, but I've never kicked him.

**Mommyof2** · May 2nd, 2012, 03:45 PM

This bitch is just an abusive cunt... Bottom line.

And OMG!! That second picture her teeth look rotten. I hate to sound shallow but rotten teeth give me the creeps. Yuck yuck yuck!

**Valasca** · May 2nd, 2012, 03:49 PM

Eh, fuck it. I sent a PM to MG thanking her. I did not tell her about the forums, though.

**JGo555** · May 2nd, 2012, 04:24 PM

I love my kids. But they are little fucking assholes sometimes. Especially when I tell them to not do something & astell I finish telling them, they start doing the exact thing I told them not to.

With that said when you have a small kid tell them AHEAD OF TIME that they are leaving. Make sure that they say goodbye & kiss (if appropriate) said toy or person they are having fun with. And as you get ready to leave you take their mind off leaving by talking about something fun that's about to happen or to talk about what they want to do next time w/said person or toy. It'll get them riled up for leaving so "they can come back".

My boy has started to scream boodly murder when his ass is brought indoors from the backyard. I let him cry it out (he's one my other is almost 3) & then get him occupied w/a toy.

A kick in the chest can be quite understandable IF WE WERE ALL FUCKING HORSES. But we're not. So a kick in the chest would be like a fucking kick in the chest.

Motherfucking Chun-Li wannabe!

Police said Liles showed up at the Crown Street residence Monday afternoon to pick up her son.

“The people there wouldn’t give him back to her and they called police again,”

I LOVE those people. In an ideal world she would have to sign him over to them and he would live happily ever after away from that bitch.

If she treated him like a football in front of friends then who knows what hell he went through at home with no witnesses. No wonder the poor kid didn't want to go home with her. She looks like a mean little bitch, the type who pick on little 'uns who can't fight back.

I took a tip from Supernanny with my monkeys - give your kids a heads-up before doing anything which interrupts their fun. Whenever mine are playing, I always say ''bed time in 5 minutes'', ''5 more minutes on the Wii then homework'' or ''ten more minutes then it's home time''. I count down too - ''ok, 3 more minutes'' or whatever. It works like a charm and while I might get a ''oh, just 5 more minutes, PLEASE!'' I don't get a meltdown.

She of course has one defender. Kid deserved it cause no one would help her.

Wow. Just...wow. Don't blame the mom for kicking the kid. Blame the kid for being a kid. Maybe the kid wouldn't be SO active if he didn't stay at home all day. Maybe he wouldn't scream if his mom didn't abuse him. OMG.

Kids are active. Kids scream. Moms need help. *I* need help. When I don't have help, I don't kick my 3 year old screaming, super hyper kid in the face and stomp on his head. OMG.

Kids are active. Kids scream. Moms need help. *I* need help. When I don't have help, I don't kick my 3 year old screaming, super hyper kid in the face and stomp on his head. OMG.

I'm fairly certain that Nell was being sarcastic. Needing help should NEVER, EVER excuse abuse. Explain it, maybe. Excuse it, no way in Hell.

You of course knew that i was being sarcastic, right? You have been here since 2010, I didn't think i needed to say that I of course didn't advocate kicking children in the head. Maybe I do?

Sarcasm/

**sanityslipping** · May 2nd, 2012, 08:25 PM

Nell, please clarify your feelings on punting small children across the room. I'm not sure where you stand on the subject.

**HeatherHabilatory** · May 2nd, 2012, 08:53 PM

Guys, pretty sure Bohring was referring to what the tard defender said.

And god dammit. I wanna punt the tard defender right in the cunt.

**Nell** · May 2nd, 2012, 08:58 PM

Well, I keep getting misunderstood, so i felt the need to clarify. Just in case.

**Jumbled** · May 2nd, 2012, 08:58 PM

I probably quoted you, perpetuating confusion.

I will sometimes start writing a post and then say Fitall and delete the damn thing. Cause I get misunderstood. I am a horrible writer, hence my continual enrollment in writing classes. They never help. This post proves it.

I'm not sure how Nell got dragged into this (unless it was cause I quoted her), as I was referring to the tard defenders inane ramblings. This will make three posts in a row on this thread. As @Nell pointed out, I've been here since 2010, and haven't learned to put all this shit in one post. Twasn't directed at Nell, but toward whomever was saying that the dumb bitch mom asked for help, and no one was giving it to her, therefore her actions were totally to be expected.

**Valasca** · May 3rd, 2012, 02:50 PM

So, @Bohring, what you're saying is that it wasn't directed towards Nell?

/me ducks.
