A 24-year-old woman attacked a 12-year-old girl for "looking at" her 30-year-old boyfriend, according to investigators in Connecticut.

Police in North Branford arrested Candice Kiley for allegedly assaulting a victim who was half her age

Law enforcement officials say Kiley lashed out at the 12-year-old during a family birthday party on July 23, according to NorthBranfordPatch.

The suspect's boyfriend was in the kitchen cleaning up a spill when Kiley allegedly claimed the child had "been looking at him all day," police told the website.

Kiley then grabbed the girl by her hair and hurled her to the floor, investigators allege.

"She landed flat on her back, hitting the back of head on the floor," North Branford Police Department Lt. David D’Ancicco told The Register Citizen.

"Everybody immediately came to the 12-year-old's aid," he noted.

Family members broke up the fight, which left the child with a bump on her head.

The victim, who is reportedly a friend of the suspect's younger sister, also suffered an asthma attack.

Kiley had left the home by the time police arrived. Officers took the suspect into custody on Aug. 9 after a warrant was issued.

Kiley has been charged with third-degree assault, disorderly conduct as well as risk of injury to a minor. She is due in court on Aug. 23.

Calls to the North Branford Police Department were returned by deadline.

If this happened at one of my family get togethers the results would have been worse. By the time the police would have gotten there half of us would have assaulted the 24 year old. We might have all ended up in jail.

Seriously though, I wonder how long she has been with her boyfriend. I would suspect that if she can get this jealous over a 12 year old then she has at least attempted to attack other women. Maybe alcohol was involved.
02:49 PM on 08/12/2011
umm im not sure if i read this storey correctly......... she assulted a 12year old for looking at her boyfriend? that kind of makes me wonder about the morals of our people in the U.S. isnt that one of the reasons rome fell? a decline in morals and in familys?
05:22 AM on 08/15/2011
A decline in education as well. *story, *assaulted, *families

Insecure & Irrational.

I'm willing to bet that she thought her boyfriend might like this 12 yr. old child hence her watching this CHILD all-day long.

How would she know that this CHILD was as she said "watching" her boyfriend all-day if she herself had not been scrutinizing the 12 yr. old ?

Insecure people can make themselves believe ANYTHING regardless of how absurd, unreasonable or preposterous it may be....truly sad.

Hope the 12 yr. old is okay.

As for Ms. 24......get HELP.......a LOT of it.
01:52 PM on 08/12/2011
I would be willing to bet that the boyfriend won't see this as a red flag, and might even be flattered by it. I know a man who has been going out with a woman more than five years. She has had him charged with domestic violence on four occasions, none of which was true. (I was present during one such incident, as she screamed for help and begged for someone to call 9-1-1. Nothing was going on, literally.) She also falsely accused a man of rape. He has been to jail several times because of her, and violated restraining orders because he "loves her." The woman in this story is immature and crazy; she should get the maximum sentence--and it should include jail time, not just community service. She also should not be allowed children for a minimum of six months.

You are right. Unfortunately women are killing their children or physically assaulting them on a daily basis-happened to me when I was a kid by my mom-physical assault for years-and has been happening for 1000s of years-look up infanticide-it is telling that it directly refers to women. Also the facts show women kill an equal number of children to men or a greater number-only area in which they compete criminally/ It is only due to the "taboo" desire of feminists-who desire to cover up such events and pretend that men are the only ones responsible for committing crimes-that we do not hear about it.
