Obligatory "found this subreddit because of the click" real quick. This happened in January But the district attorney called me two days ago with the update.
I'm a wheelchair user because of a fainting disorder (severe POTS for those wondering). I came home from work to see a car parked right under a "No parking fire lane" and on the sidewalk. It blocked the way into my apartment and I had to leave the wheelchair in my car. I started taking photos of the car because this had been an issue with the owner for months. My landlord had told me to get photos of it and email them to him every time she did it after I mentioned it in passing.
While taking a photo, the owner came out of her apartment to scream at me. I stayed calm and tried to walk into my apartment. She got in my face to continue screaming and by reflex I shove her back. She then grabbed me by the throat and began to punch me. After a minute my neighbors and roommate, who were having a smoke, came running and got her off me.
Police were called, paramedics showed up because my neck was bleeding (she had acrylic nails), and I ended up going to the ER because I had a syncope episode while the paramedics were there.
I decided to press charges, thinking I'd just get an aggravated assault or something. I made sure that they got her while she was home because I knew she had a gun on the wall despite being a convicted felon.
When the police went to arrest her they found that the car was stolen, without insurance, she didn't have a license, there was used needles all over the apartment with her 8 year old child, AND the gun which was also marked stolen.
Child is in foster care and she in in jail without bond. The DA said that her child recorded it (she apparently told her to) and it was already ruled as assault because of the overwhelming proof, plus the 7 counts of assault she's gotten in the past 5 years already.
Had I gotten her nailed with it outside her home she would have only gotten probation since she was a parent, but now she lost her kid, her home, her car, and is going to be in jail for about 30 years or more, depending what the state charges her with for the drugs.

I think justice would be a better word than revenge to describe this, given all the other things that apparently preceded this.
I second this notion, but this story warms my cold, blackened heart.
That poor kid though.
Hopefully their next home is better than their last.
In a serious nuclear revenge story, OP would adopt the child and then let the mother know 🤣🤣🤣
My twisted thoughts exactly
The only thing that made me sad was the kid. Truly hope their foster home is better than their last situation.
You mean this AI generated fantasy story?
Someone has quite obviously never lived in Ohio. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Completely checks out for me. Had a situation similar to this many many years ago with a patient of mine, only she was paraplegic and relied on her wheelchair 100%. Person who assaulted had a child with her, slapped with endangerment and then tested dirty in custody. And the patient was older and mentally disabled so I do believe there was some sort of charge about assault on a vulnerable person or something like that. Unsurprisingly, the person was already on probation. Court was apparently wild but I believe they pled out.
Craziest part of this was that it wasn't even that unique of a story. Work in community health and you will have seen it all over the course of your career.
Yeah, because everyone in the US is mentally stable and would NEVER assault a handicapped person and direct their child to film it. That NEVER happens, right?
It’s not that YOU live in a fantasy world where this type of thing never happens.
I hope her child gets through this OK. She’s a POS parent for committing crimes like that and therefore leaving her child without a parent like that.
Sounds like the kid is better off without her.
Definitely a POS
Calling the egg donor (because Lord knows she's not a true mother) a POS is being charitable IMO.
Wouldn’t be surprised if her behaviour left her a homeless old woman, depending on how she behaves in prison. If she’s violent toward other people there, then she’ll probably serve the full length, or more if she racks up more criminal offences there.
Is it possible to rack up offences in prison?
Yes, especially if the incidents were caught on prison security cameras, and there’s evidence to back it up. Some prisoners have records like this and if they’re too dangerous for normal prison life, they can get sent to a supermax facility like ADMAX Florence.
... if she servives the sentence. Prisoners have very low opinions of child abusers.
If justice works as well as it did here, it is all and more revenge than a person can hope for.
When justice feels like revenge, that’s the biggest, hardest boner
I want this on a t-shirt.
Definitely belongs on justice served
The revenge was making them arrest her in her apartment for the added charge of possessing a gun as a felon. The rest is sweet justice
is Justice a type of revenge?
Yes, it's not that OP did do anything above and beyond. Just pressing charges seems more like r/bareminimumrevenge. The nuclear part was her own work.
You did society a favour by taking the hit. You walk away with some scratches and bruises, and maybe a bit rattled, but you took a dangerous person off the streets, which may even have saved that child's life. Certainly someone else was saved due to you taking this hit.
Seems like this is one case where karma was an even bigger bitch than your neighbor.
I knew being hit was a risk, but I also knew that I'm not in any wrong. I have a condition where I don't feel pain very strongly compared to other people so I was ok with being hit to take her down
You, my friend, are a superhero.
It's so frustrating how we just let 'people' like this walk among us so it's always such a treat to see these rare moments of justice.
More importantly, you gave that child a chance at an actual life.
Seriously, thank you.
Because of the order of display of the comments, I thought you were responding to a comment about redheads and referring to them as ‘people’ in quotes. I thought, geez this guy is really hair racist.
Is it called being a redhead?

My dentist use me as a science experiment until they found something that could work on me. The thing that they finally used was supposed to give them hours of work, and they only had 20 minutes.
On a slightly related note I learned that getting your teeth drilled does not "hurt"
I'm the same way.
I've been with the same dental practice for 30 years. My dentist told me once that he has to use twice as much anesthetic with me and then he has half the time he normally does to do the work. He let the other dentists in the practice know and so far, so good.
... or Irish....
Damn. So you can faint and don't feel much pain??
I see a weird superhero in the making.
Hah so do you have EDS as well? (actually now that I think of it, if you do and haven’t yet, you might want to get some scans of your neck to make sure your discs didn’t decide to try to find a new home). But while I obv wish this didn’t happen to you, it is “nice” seeing fellow zebras in the wild
Fellow POTSie here. I didn’t know it reduced our perception of pain, new info for me
The pain thing isn't from my POTS. It's caused by an entirely other thing.
My husband has POTS and this bitch should be considered lucky to get away with a prison sentence.
Cross post to r/justiceserved.
Thank you! Didn't know that was a subreddit
There’s a sub for everything
It's finding them that's the problem. Thanks, Bargle, for the cross-reference.
Don't do so many crimes all at once, if all it takes is one crime to unravel everything else. The objective for committing a crime is to get away with it.
My goodness...
If I have a stolen car, I'll make sure to have a garage and store it inside it, not even driveway parking. If I'm not supposed to have a gun, it is definitely going in the basement locker. Either you have a kid or you have your drugs, never both at the same time. This woman was an idiot who deserved to get caught and receive the punishment that she got...
Not every criminal is a smart, or good, criminal. My brother, for instance, has spent half his life in jail. He thinks he’s sly and good at it but we keep telling him… if you’ve spent the bulk of your life in jail due to your criminal activities, you’re not a good criminal and should look into other job avenues. He’s currently back in jail.
If anything, I’ve learned how not to get caught by watching him…I think I would make a decent criminal. I just don’t like giving up whatever freedom I have so I guess I’ll stick to my day job.
The smart ones are in the government. They have a fancy name for this, I think it's "politicians"?
That's why dumb criminals are job security for cops. The smart ones don't get caught, after all.
Don't hold back; keep your boot on HER throat, so to speak. You are doing that kid, and the world a favour.
Sounds like justice! I feel so bad for that kid though, fingers crossed they end up with a good foster family and actually get a chance to have a normal life
I'm real curious about the thought process here...
Maybe she was convinced that she'd nail the OP for something by capturing the whole thing on recorded video? She's crazy enough to do everything she did, so she's crazy enough to think that somehow she'd be able to pin this all on the OP.
What do we say again kids? "One crime at a time!"
I'm not seeing a revenge. Satisfying consequences but you didn't do anything except tell the proper authorities. That's not revenge. That's just living in a society with laws. Glad she's in jail, though.
Please provide an update as to sentencing.
Good for you for standing up for yourself and knowing your rights.
I recommend you suggest to them that also because she asked the child to participate in her assault by recording it, she was contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
This is just consequences, not revenge.
Good story, though.
Perhaps r/ohnoconsequences
you may have saved that kids life. they might actually stand a chance now.
Seconded. The opportunities that this child could now have cannot be understated.
This is not revenge, this is calling the cops.
Agreed, while it was well deserved, it wasn't nuclear, like at all.
30 years plus ain't nothin' to sneeze at, though.
That's not revenge it's the consequences of her own actions.
Oh, definitely. I agree with everyone about this technically not being revenge, but this sub requires grave consequences. At least we got those.
oh course not. Just think of all the free room and board she has to look forward to.
See if you can get them to notify you if she ever goes for probation. Show up at every hearing and tell your story
You are right and I want to agree with you but you did push her first lol
Idk if this is revenge, this is just what happens when you break so many laws! Literally what was this woman thinking would happen?? Especially having her child film it, presumably to keep herself out of trouble, this was just delusional 😂😂😂
I'm proud of you for thinking it through and making sure she went to prison OP, people like that need to learn the proper ways to behave in society and that is not it.
The saddest part of this story is that she will get three times as much jail time for the drugs as she will for hitting someone in a wheelchair. SMH…
Severe Plain Old Telephone Service?
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
That was going to be my second quess
That was my third guess. Right after People Overthrowing The System.
"Dial up" ? or "Operuttah"?
Good riddance! Sorry you had to take the final episode, but this creature belongs where she is going.
30 years! Damn! The US justice system is just ridiculous.
If you stack every charge end to end and the max for every thing it's probably 30.
Vast majority of the time she'll serve many of those sentences at the same time with most being pleaded down or removed entirely.
Completely talking out of my ass here but just a guess she might get 4 or 5 years almost entirely from the child issue, the gun, and having a previous felony. getting out around the 2.5 to 3 year mark and serve the rest on probation.
That's if this was real. Which I'm 90% sure it's not.
some kids just get the fucking shit end of the stick in life. what a fuckin' tragedy.
Nailed her
This person was a ticking time bomb, if not you someone else, that is just so many things waiting to go wrong. Getting your child to film you assaulting someone who took photos of your illegally park car is insane. I honestly wish for no child to end up in foster care but this sounds like it was inevitable.
That lady definitely isn’t getting 30 years for this.
30 years for the max sentence, but, in reality, she'll likely plea to one or two charges and the rest will be nolle prossed (dismissed). Highly unlikely she does more the 5-10, but it'll be dependent on the plea agreement.
It also depends on how badly she fucks up in prison or after she's released, too. It sounds like this woman is a repeat offender going back God knows how many years.
You getting punched may have just saved a child. It’s not for me to say if things other people pay, in money or experience, are worth it…but heck yea. You’re a hero
Ahh! Hello fellow Clicky Thiccy fan! UwU ❤️❤️❤️
I’m glad to hear that you’re recovering and that your neighbor had justice served on her for what she did to you. I do feel bad for her kid, but maybe there will be relatives that will step up and take care of them.
My across the hall neighbor has a daughter in the same class as her and was friends with her. They attend the same school and are in the same grade (small town, so all of one grade fits in one classroom). My neighbor's daughter said that she won't stop talking about how much food her foster parents have and how many pieces of clothes she has. The local foster system is actually pretty good, which I know from first hand experience.
Love that the click is the reason some of these posts appear in this type of subs, his YouTube channel makes it so that people feel more comfortable sharing their stories and it's really cool.
His videos on r/insaneparents also helped a lot of people realize they were in a toxic situation. And his breaking down of misogyny through r/nothowgirlswork probably helped boys in danger of falling down the alpha male pipeline.
I love click and all the good he's done and uplifting he does.
Overall his channel is a nice breath of fresh air and I Like seeing that he posted a new video after a long day at uni/work
The decent thing to do would be to surprise her with a visit in jail.
As someone with hyperadrenergic-POTS myself, POTS isn’t a fainting disorder. Most of us actually don’t faint but have pre-syncope. It’s not a heart condition, nor a fainting disorder, it’s an autonomic nervous system disorder. Specifically, Dysautonomia.
I agree with most here, no revenge, but great Justice Served!
Ayeeeeee 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Subaru outback actually
This is the best post I've read on reddit by far.
Possibly saved that child from (further) abuse and assault as well. I hope you’re okay!
To be fair... she didn't lose her car... that car wasn't hers to begin with... lol
Glad she didn’t come out with the gun when you were taking pictures… a bit risky
Seems like she had it coming one way or another.
Justice served
Justice was served.
Hopefully that kid now has a chance in life.
You probably saved that kid’s life?
What’s the click?
Love this. Glad you got justice, OP.
This isn't nuclear revenge, you were just assaulted (and that's horrible, I'm so sorry)
Way to go. She seems like a trash human being. You did the world and her child a service by pressing charges.
Well… can we really say she lost “her” car? <wink>
Sounds like justice
And hopefully the kid finds a good foster home.
That child is safer, better off now
Any update OP? What did they charge her with? Has she been sentenced?
So you started a whole avalanch because you put your hands on someone first when you weren't supposed to?
Edit: You fucked with someone's life, and their child's life, that's allowed to be upset and yell if they want to even if they're in the wrong parking wise all because you couldn't handle being yelled at and decided to physically assault someone first?
