UT - Mom used pliers to pull son's teeth in Walmart bathroom, American Fork, Apr 2017

"Police say on April 2, Jeannine Cherilynn Isom went into Walmart and bought hand sanitizer and needle nose pliers. According to police, she took her 7-year-old son into the restroom and pulled out two of his teeth with the pliers.

The boy’s older brother and a store employee reported hearing the child screaming and yelling."

Why on earth would anyone do that?

 

Who knows? I've quit asking myself why anyone does what they do anymore. Police in article says his poor little teeth came out in pieces and the teeth weren't loose.

 

Yikes! Was he complaining of tooth pain and/or his teeth were visibly rotten but she couldn't afford a dentist? Or Wth? And why do it right there in the bathroom at the store instead of going home? And hand sanitizer...did she put it in his mouth? This entire thing is just weird and also giving me flashbacks to when I was little and my daddy would pull out our VERY LOOSE teeth with needle-nose pliers, which we referred to as "the tooth pliers." shudder I still remember the taste yuck

Wow.

That is plain sick. She needs to have both those kids taken away from her.

 

Homeless?

 

My goodness! That poor kid is going to have a lifelong fear of the dentist . This woman has to be completely uneducated and/or mentally ill!

 

Here's family pics with her childhood and young adult autobiography.
She's a violinist and music teacher.
She has a lot of kids.

Or a lifelong fear of his mom!

 

Seven children?!

With the 7 year old born when she was about 41??

She is two years younger than me.

Either she has lost her mind or she is on something.

 

Eccentric family, I think. Lots of education and money. Not close to homeless. Educated upper-middle class Mormon family.

 

I clicked on her father's page - he has a PhD, well traveled, has money.

Kind of weird this would happen to her. One never can tell.

 

Looks like she is divorced.

And has a "history of mental illness." https://www.google.com/amp/amp.whec...arged-pulling-out-son-teeth-at-store/4506588/

 

I'm glad the older boy came to his younger brother's rescue. He knew that wasn't right. Not good when the children have to "babysit" the mother. Wonder if her ex has tried getting custody of the children. Only 4 of them are under 22 now.

 

WTF???????????????? Why in a a Walmart bathroom????????? :crazy:

 

I agree, she needs to have all of the children living with her taken away for their own safety.
After reading about her I think she is accustomed to living a particularly comfortable lifestyle which has probably come to an end with the divorce. She doesn't want her lifestyle to change but the children are the ones to feel the economical squeeze (including home dentistry).

 

If there is a custody dispute the father will get them after this. And justifiably so too, for the children's sake.

 

Good God that poor child!
