Mom: I’m no child abuser

Yeah, Illinois is getting wackier and wackier, thanks to guys like Barack Obama and Richard Daley…and other loony leftists like Dick Durbin the Turban.

Coyne, 36, was arrested Dec. 8 outside a Crestwood Wal-Mart after a police officer found her 2-year-old daughter Phoebe asleep in her locked station wagon. While Phoebe slept, Coyne took her two other daughters and a friend to donate change to the Salvation Army bell ringer outside the store.

Surveillance video showed she was away from the car less than four minutes and never went in the store. The car was always in her sight. A Crestwood police officer arrested her, cuffing her and placing her in the back of a squad car while the three older children stood under a Wal-Mart awning, confused and crying during a sleet storm.

How nice of them to subject this young family to this abuse…right before the holidays.

Coyne was charged with child endangerment and resisting arrest, which the Cook County state’s attorney’s office dropped Thursday in court in Bridgeview. If she had been convicted, she would have faced a maximum penalty of a year in jail or a $2,500 fine.

Wait a minute. Court was in Bridgeview? That seems rather odd to me….considering what I’ve been learning lately about the Bridgeview Mosque Foundation and its connections to Hamas…and Daley, etc.-

The family’s holidays and days since were dampened by the criminal charges hanging over Coyne.

“They stole our Christmas,” said Tim Janecyk, her husband.

One has to wonder if that was the intent.

“It’s hard being labeled a child abuser, bad parent and lawbreaker when I am none of these,” Coyne added.

hmmmm….
