James Hackett assault and battery - A man is being charged over allegedly throwing a carton of McDonalds fries at his 11-year old step daughter in a moment of anger.
James Hackett assault and battery
At first a charge seems a little over the top. The story goes that the family, James, his wife and step-daughter visited McDs and on the way home in the car the couple started arguing over money.
The 11-year old interjected and out of anger James threw the fries into the backseat where they hit the girl in the face.
Thinking about the incident a little more I see the charge a little more clearly if it happened that way. The fries have been described as hot and oily with potential to burn and the act itself was violent and maybe aimed at the child.
Lowell Sun: Man plans not-guilty in French fry assault
The Lowell Sun reported that James Hackett pleaded not guilty in district court. He is on bail on condition he goes no where near the girl.

What do you think? Is a charge harsh or should he be seriously reprimanded if it is decided events did happen like this?Story republished from: http://therandomforest.com/james-hackett-assault-battery/
