Mom, Put Down The Dangerous Chemicals

Years from now on the couch this boy will have plenty to discuss:

A mother who tried to throw ammonia at her neighbor during a fight missed her mark and instead hit her 11-year-old son, police allege.

The fight happened inside 65 Winter Ave. in New Brighton at about 1 p.m. Tuesday, police allege.

Gina Lawson, 39, threw the ammonia at her female neighbor, but Ms. Lawson’s son was standing between them, police allege.

The fluid ended up striking the boy in the face and eye, causing “burning of the eye, an abrasion of the eye and substantial pain,” according to court papers.

Authorities charged Ms. Lawson with third-degree assault, child endangerment, fourth-degree weapon possession, for the ammonia, and third-degree attempted assault — all misdemeanors.
