She called the police and had her grandma placed in jail, read the full story below:
HOT SPRINGS, AR (WCMH) – An Arkansas woman was hauled away to jail after she used a switch on her great-granddaughter, who she says was sassing her.
It all started when the 12-year-old girl talked back while refusing to throw away food, according to a police report.
According to police, the girl still has visible welts on her arm.
Norma Toussaint, 70 tells KARK-TV she pulled a switch off her front hedges, pulled off the leaves and used it to punish her 12-year-old great-granddaughter.
“And I went back in the house and whooped her on her arm,” Toussaint said.
That’s when the upset girl called 911.

“I asked, I said ‘you want to call the police on me’”, said Toussaint. “And she said yes. I said ‘call ’em then.’”
A short time later, at least four police officers showed up at her home.
Toussaint said an officer told her she should have used the switch on the girl’s bottom instead.
She is now facing a felony domestic violence charge and a restraining order has been filed against her.
This world is a crazy place!

S**t!!!!! My momma, my grand momma who is deceased was blind and still whipped that azz if you got outta line; my grand mom didn’t have to whip me cause I am the oldest grandchild and helped my grand mom out a lot. I still miss her to this day………
My favorite part of the story….
“I asked, I said ‘you want to call the police on me’”, said Toussaint. “And she said yes. I said ‘call ’em then.’”
They don’t want us to discipline our kids, yet they can shoot and kill them for walking down the street with a hoody on. #smh
I agree . My grandma used switches on all 11 of us as grand kids and I say it mad me the respectable person I am today . That little girl needs discipline. Right now . Leave grandma alone .
Amen
Many who criticize a parent for disciplining his/her child, are the same ones who scoff at the parents if their children have to face the arm of the law.
There’s a difference between beating and abusing.
And, you can count on paying fines for any type of damage or vandalism your child does – no don’t beat them – discipline them and a spanking/switching never hurt me.
I wonder what the law says about this did the POLICE have to arrest her?
Nicole Barber Hicks they crazy
I am better for the many switches that were used on me, lmao. Little heffa.
Michele Humphrey D’Andre Wilson Talbert Wilson Jay Wilson y’all know we got it! These kids today…mayne!
Caribbean grandmother would’ve made you pick up the switch from the tree and whup you with it.
The charges were dropped.
And when she got home the switch would still be waiting.And they wonder what”s wrong with kids these days, ask the police maybe they know since it”s called abuse these days when a parent disciplines a child and goes to jail, something is terribly wrong with this system that a parent is not allowed to do their job of parenting but heaven forbid let that said child do something wrong first ? asked is WHERE ARE THE PARENTS”? Probably in jail being charged with child abuse.
It’s ok for the police to shoot ours kids but we can’t discipline them
I’m with grandma.
No that lil girl did not call the police on ‘big Mama!’…in my day that wouldn’t have even crossed your mind-let alone actually doing it. Big Mama was off limits! You did not cross her.
Hum…..
Welcome to America the Country of Doing whatever kids want and getting what they want and Having No Respect for Authority .
S**t i had to go pick my own and if i utter the word police that was another ass whooping and get kick out with whatever i had on at that time.. How about we send all these bad ass kids to the policy maker and let them raise their asses and see if they kind do any better. Also the catch to their theory is to raise more criminals so they can capitalize off of them by putting them in prison. And making money.
Caribbean grandmothers aren’t the only ones.
She should have got her butt whipped again once she got home and her parents found out what she did.
Send her little ass packing. Grandma shouldn’t have to raise the little cuss in the first place. If you think I’m abusing them take the f**ker out of my house. Sooner gone the better pass me my sweet cider.
My neive did that to my mom. The police did come out but they gave her that look like….good job granny…and went about their business.
WHAT!!! I hope she wasn’t allowed to live there anymore. These kids today damn.
Police are obviously the only people who can disapline our children by beating, tazing, and shooting them. God forbid we should try to keep them in line. That child wouldn’t call the police again.
yesssss!!! Kelly Carty Carribbean grandmothers boy ????????????????????????????
????????????????????????
I used to be mad at mama for whooping me with a switch now that I’m grown I APPRECIATE EVERY WHOOPING I RECEIVED,thanks Margaret Robertson

I came from Africa were every child is trained cautioned and spanked when they do something wrong and we all turned out well. America needs to allow parents to raise their kids the way they know best putting her in jail will not solve the problems.
I raised mine in Africa. And I always told them if they got out of line, I’d put them on the first thing smokin’ going back where folks would help me whip some sense into them. We’ve gone in the complete wrong direction here. And they wonder why the prisons are full.
Marionette Allen Audifferen, that’s exactly what they want, a full house. It’s a big money maker for the top 1%.
Wow that’s wonderful my sister so where in Africa dis you go am from Nigeria. I like your boldness and I wish a lot of African Americans can take that step out of their comfort zones and try new things get to know African a little bit. Yes children needs corrections when they do wrong things when I came new I was wondering why kids behaves badly and with no respect. Anywho we all should train our own the right way. Nice meeting you ma.
9ja girl! Where the cane rules! ????
Sharp sharp!!
Lol you know right naija is the best so you eat fufu and all that huh awesome
When are you going back to visit
Christmas or next summer.
Am thinking of summer with my kids to go home I pray I afford the tickets
I told my mom I would call the police if she tried to spank me. She said she would go to jail before I disrepected her. That was the end of that and I never used that line again.
In front of the cops…
Wow, this is the main problem with our kids today. The day our justice system let it be known to our school districts and our children that we as parents dont have the right to spank our kids and as a kid they have the right to call the police on a parent, this is when all hell broke loose, they took our rights as being a parent away, but oh, our kids dont listen, our kids are bad, our kids are disrespectful, our kids dont want to go to school, our kids dont listen to teachers. What type of kids would we have if our rights to discipline/ spank was not taken away we are talking about a spanking not child abuse. Just like education, you teach a child at a youg age with the hope they will grow to be smart the same with discipline at a young age you discipline with hope that the kids will grow up and take a good road and be respectful to authority figures, be respectful to any and all humans. Smh don’t understand our system
The police are doing worse than this great grandma is I would tell them do you want me to correct them now are you going to have to shot them later
No charges
She lucky she survived til the police got there
She should. Be ashamed of herself her 70 year-old granny in jail
The cops want to beat the hell out of our kids themselves
Many of them do. Smh…
Yes something is so wrong with the world. That is why kids in our time don’t listen.but when the to something stupid then oh wow it is the parents that don’t know how to raise there kids.so good job grandma .you did the right thing.
And she would get it again.
This is ridiculous…. better grandma take care of the problem now, than law enforcement and the judicial system take care of it later. This one of the biggest problems facing society today…. entitled children who think they’re above being disciplined and that they can do whatever the hell they want.
What a shame. I would of been waiting for her again
wtf black poeple cant discipline they damn kids without white folks interfering..they rather the cops kill them…disrespectful ass kids calling cops on thier parents for disciplining they ass.
evry black person in the country ought to whip they kids as when they do wrong..they cant jail over 30 million black folks
Child services will have to keep that child then.
