Woman charged with assaulting an infant after randomly punching baby in face

Story here. If I ever became a legislator, I'd sponsor a bill creating a crime called "Criminal Stupidity". Sure, she may also be nuts, but if that wouldn't excuse a man from it, it shouldn't excuse a woman. Excerpt:

'A mother is outraged after a woman came up and punched her baby in the face at a restaurant on Folly Beach Saturday.

"It was a random act of stupidity," Amber Fortson of Little River said Wednesday.

Barbra Green, 59, of Riverland Drive told arresting officers she thought the 5-month-old boy was a doll and she was joking, according to the incident report.

She was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and disorderly conduct and released from the Charleston County jail on $25,262 bail.
...
"We were surrounded by great people, having a great time," Mrs. Fortson said. "People around us were showing us pictures of their babies."

The boy was standing on his father's lap "laughing, smiling and dancing to the music" when a woman they had never seen before walked up, hit him in the face and walked toward the door, his mother said.
...
The boy's father followed the woman to the door but could not get her to talk, according to the report. The restaurant staff stopped Green from leaving and called police to arrest her. An officer noted that the child's nose was red.'
