Mom Beats Little League Coach With Baseball Bat Over Molestation Suspicions

A Memphis-area mother is facing aggravated assault charges after attacking her sons’ little league football coach with a baseball bat. According to the no-nonsense mother, the coach had molested her sons and, upon seeing him, she simply couldn’t control herself.
The New York Daily News relates:
“I didn’t intend to do whatever I did to him,” said [Lakeshia Richmond]. “I apologize, but I don’t apologize for what happened to my kids.”
She claimed one of her sons told her Saturday that [Tony Massey] touched him inappropriately. “I said, ‘was it just you?’ and he said ‘no, it was some more kids,’” she told WREG.
Later Saturday, she saw Massey walking alone and grabbed the bat from the trunk of her car.
“When I see him, I see my kids being hurt and that’s all I see,” Richmond said.
Cops found Massey “shirtless and bleeding from the head and face,” according to WMC-TV, and later arrested Richmond on charges of aggravated assault.
Massey has not been arrested but police are reportedly investigating the abuse allegations. He remains in the hospital in serious condition.
Watch an interview with Richmond, via ABC 24, below:
“I did what I had to do; I put it in God’s hands,” she remarked.
The local ABC24 reporter noted that, before putting it in God’s hands, she did seem to take matters into her own.
The local district attorney said that while she understands the need to protect one’s children, “when someone is acting out and committing a crime for the sake of their children, or in defense of their children, you’re just causing more problems…It’s not a situation where any good is going to come from you trying to take the law into your own hands.”
Richmond noted that she did call police, saying: “I was hoping the police made it to him before I did…He was saying he didn’t do it and he was sorry. If you didn‘t do it why are you saying you’re sorry? What are you sorry for?”
She added: “If the law would’ve made it there before I did… [it] probably wouldn’t have happened.”

You stated:
“The sad truth is that most teachers, coaches, are pedophiles.”
This has got to be one of the most ignorant, stupid, pathetic, moronic, insensitive, baseless comments ever written on here!
How dare you lump teachers and coaches as being pedophiles! My mother taught for 36 years, and I personally know many of the other teachers who taught! I know several men and women who coach. With your quick typing, you managed to slander my mother and many other fine, hardworking people of the community.
It may surprise you, but there are many people out there who are truly concerned about the kids and are willing to work the long hours required and put up with the garbage from people like you!

How about due process? Then if he is guilty of something lewd, then put him in prison. As for now… put the mom in prison for assault with a deadly weapon. Her sons were not in immediate threat. She wasnt protecting them, she was avenging them. Big difference. Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord.

If he did it I hope he goes to prison for a long time but “what if it is a lie.” Who is going to put his life back together? Restore his character and dignity?

Posted on August 22, 2012 at 11:57amAre you certain the kid told the truth? I was molested, and so was my little brother. But you should wait until the investigation is over before destroying this coach’s life. What if the kid was just angry at the coach for some reason? And, yet, maybe it’s all true. We don’t know! The mother should not have taken a baseball bat to this man. Now she’ll be in trouble, too. The father who killed a man when he found his daughter being raped…as the father actually witnessed (came upon) the rape. He heard his daughter scream. I don’t blame that father for beating the raper…but the raper was killed in the process…which could have gotten him in prison for murder…in other states. You don’t do your family any good by going to jail yourself. Let the law handle it.

As Americans we need to stop making people guilty before we know all of the information.
As a teacher who was falsely accused of hurting a child, because the child knew the parent would give her power (she had done this to several teachers), being falsely accused of abuse of child is one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Having a child of my own now, I know how wild children‘s imaginations can be and how they can easily be swayed to think or say something that isn’t true to get the approval of a person.

Any monster that rapes/abuses/molests a child should in my humble opinion be executed immediately upon conviction. That being said, you are wrong on a couple of points, first kids DO lie. Second, regardless of the facts (which are a LONG way from being fully presented), she had NO right to take justice into her own hands—that is what they do in Muslim crap holes. In the U.S. we have a civilized justice system (not perfect to be sure, but it IS the best the world has ever known) which protects the innocent from false allegations. If this coach is innocent (I’m sure you will concede that he COULD be, no?), then what would you offer? oops I sorry? NO, that is not going to work. If it turns out that this coach is innocent, I want this womans backside in jail for a LONG time.

The only time God condones a person to kill another human is in selfdefense of ones own life or another’s from murderous intent. Anyone involved in capital punishment, from passing the law to the act of the punishment itself is guilty of murder and will be held accountable to the Lord as such unless they understand their own transgression and earnestly repent.

Your reference to “Keys of Heaven” and “binding and losing” belongs to Peter and his successors as surrogates of Jesus’s authority on Earth until His second coming. By Faith has explained it to you before. It is not yours to condemn others but Jesus Christ’s alone. Bearing false witness is just that. The end result is imprisonment of an innocent.
So to validate your point about the death penalty you resort to baseless accusations and ridicule. I’m against the death penalty because it is against the will of God. It’s the 5th commandment and can not be argued with. To cut short a persons life out of vengeance, an eye for an eye, prevents those who may not yet understand the mortal condition of their soul and repent. Utilitarian philosophy (ends justifies the means) is an intrinsic evil. Your “win win” argument is immoral.

She didn’teven stop to think maybe the kids made something up here to mess with the coach….its happened before. False accusers come in all sizes even pint sizes.
Also we should avoid falsely accusing someone when we know squat!

Posted on August 21, 2012 at 5:04pmYour logic makes no sense. In fact, even when courts try someone, they are taking justice out of God’s hands. Get a clue and start learning what Scripture actually means instead of selectively quoting it out of context.
With that said, I do not believe that what she did was right. I really believe that a proper investigation should be done and the man, if indeed guilty, should be punished under the law.

Posted on August 21, 2012 at 5:36pmRPP: you’re the one misunderstanding the Bible and the concept of Law and Order. The Law does not involve vengeance, it is about Order and keeping it. It provides a way for victims and members of society to find justice and mitigate some of the effects of lawlessness. When a pedophile or murderer or thief is convicted by Law (and this includes capital punishment), that is not vengeance. Vengeance is what she did. It’s “getting back” at someone for a perceived (or actual) affront. The Bible preaches against vengeance specifically because of things like this. Vengeance is unthinking retaliation and innocent people are most often the ones hurt by it. God in the Bible commands that Law and Order be kept by the people through his guidance, so it is not taking it out of God’s hands, since Law and Order work through God by his command. Vengeance is ungodly behavior because he expressly forbids it.

Posted on August 21, 2012 at 7:08pm@RPP,
Dude, read it sometime.. (the Bible). Romans clearly places authority for the punishment of evildoers in the hands of the government. Vengeance isn’t the same as justice, and God gave civil government the authority to issue justice for crimes committed. So, according to the BIBLE, courts do not take it out of God’s hands, He placed it in their laps. BIG difference.
That said, our American ‘justice’ system is failing our children when it comes to pedophiles and rapists. They should receive much harsher sentences even up to the death penalty. Pedophiles and sexual assailants get worse with each crime they commit, and by not locking them away forever, we create more victims.

Posted on August 21, 2012 at 10:42pmWell, lets just say if the coach lies about it, (and he will if he did do it, anyway,) that he will not do it again that which he says he did not do, not to that one, anyway. It is not likely the kid would make that up unless the mother put him up to saying that to get even with that coach for some reason. Believe me that will not be the only kid he did that to and others will step forward if the man is a perv.

Posted on August 22, 2012 at 8:27amThe legal system just doesn’t work when it comes to pedophilia. Bogus charges by vengeful ex-spouses all seem to stick, ruining the lives of the innocent parent and the children, while actual pedophiles just get a slap on the wrist and are released to continue their depravity on more innocents. I’m all for the parental justice in cases like this. Batter up.

Posted on August 21, 2012 at 4:43pmI can understand her feelings, and if I was in a similar position I might do the same… but this is the reason we have a legal system. The victim (or the victim’s family) does not choose or enact the punishment; the law does.
It’s a shame that these boys may very well lose their mother as well as having been abused.
