Beverly Hardy saw a young boy acting up in a Billings, Montana, parking lot. By young, I mean four years old. The boy’s mother was stunned when Beverly walked over, slapped the boy in the face and told him he would end up in jail. Then Beverly smacked him on the butt and yelled at the mother to get control of her child.
Police were able to track Beverly down. As they approached her house, she reportedly said, “I bet you’re looking for me.” She admitted to smacking the boy and said, “I’m 71, I can do whatever I want.” In other words, 71-year-olds can have the same attitude as 4-year olds.
She was charged with felony assault on a minor.
