Charge Vs. Mom Who Kicked Kids to Curb Will Be Dropped

NY lawyer just needs to stay out of trouble

Share

(Newser) – Madlyn Primoff, the New York lawyer who gained notoriety when she kicked her squabbling kids out of the car last month, will likely not face legal repercussions, the Journal News reports. Though she faces a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child, it will be dropped in 6 months as long as Primoff stays out of trouble.

“There is no ongoing danger to the children,” a Westchester County assistant district attorney said. “Clearly I made a mistake,” Primoff, a 45-year-old Scarsdale resident said after a hearing today. “But I truly love our children and I know I am a good parent.”

Getting kicked out from time to time is very sobering... and the time spent on reflection could end up saving your life. Reply

you obviously aren't thinking the way a child would.

In a day and age where children are routinely picked off the streets by various child abusing criminals, it was WAY stupid for her to do what she did. Reply
