Mom choked teen who bullied her kid on Facebook, cops say

6/1/2012

A Florida mom went Incredible Hulk on a teenager who left a lewd message on her daughter's Facebook page. Now, Debbie Piscitella faces child abuse charges after she allegedly choked a 14-year-old boy at a mall. The incident was sparked by a nasty Facebook post from the boy that said Piscitella's 13-year-old daughter was so unattractive he wouldn't even rape her. When Debbie Piscitella saw the boy while shopping with her daughter, she attacked him. The boy's mother, who has taught anger management and parenting classes, is not happy. Although she did say she would make her son apologize if he needed to, she also argued, " ... Regardless of how mad you get, you don't put your hands on anybody -- especially a child."
