LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville woman was arrested yesterday for allegedly punching her 10-year-old son in the face during her anger management class.

Police say it happened on Feb. 4. 30-year-old Misty Lawson was taking the class when she allegedly punched the child several times in his face and body area.

A counselor witnessed the incident and reported it to the police and Child Protective Services.

He suffered from redness to the eye and a knuckle bruise on the right cheek.

1. Well, she is definitely in the right place.

Hopefully, those classes will help her learn to control her anger.

2. why am I not surprised she is named "Misty"?

Crystal or Amber or Destiny wouldn't have surprised me, either.

3. It was stupid to have the child present in the class. A child care room is required.

As a participant in anger management, I know working on anger issues can evoke anger & rage. Competent professionals know this, too.

6. Agree, that child shouldn't have been anywhere near that class.

Not to minimize the disgusting punch by this 'mother', but I'm so tired of seeing children exposed to the emotional baggage of their parents .... for any reason. They carry it around for the rest of their lives. The administrators of this anger-management program need to take a good look at themselves.

4. She has that "crazy in the eye" look. nt

7. Ummm...she gets an "F" right?

I hope that poor child is found a more stable adult to care for him.

OMFG a MISDEMEANOR???? WTF is wrong with them.
