Police: Mom stabs teen over pork chop dispute

Dayton— A 57-year-old woman is jailed for allegedly attacking her teenage son with a knife.

Officers were called to the home of Yolanda Veasley just before 3 p.m. Saturday to Good Samaritan Hospital, where a 15-year-old stabbing victim said his mother attacked him during an argument over food. The teen’s aunt told police her sister became angry because the night before she made pork chops. After dinner, four were packaged for later meals. However, when she got up Saturday, three were gone and her son lied about eating them. She then began to throw knives at the boy, according to a Dayton police report. The teen said his mother had been drinking, and that he tried to run because “I had knives coming at my face.” He said a foot-long kitchen knife hit him on his thumb, cutting it open. The teen called his aunt to take him to the hospital, where his cut required stitches, the report stated.

Listen, I ain’t mad at Yolanda Veasley. First of all, none of that coddling, New Age parenting for her, huh? Kid misbehaves and he pays the consequences immediately, and by consequences I mean knives coming at your face. That’s old school parenting right there. Secondly, if anybody ever deserved punishment it was this kid. I mean, who unwraps pork chops that are clearly wrapped for later meals and then lies about it? I’ll tell you who won’t ever again – Yolanda Veasley’s son.

Lesson learned. Lesson learned indeed.
