Delco Woman Crystal Davis Charged with Assault, Other Related Offenses, After Punching 9-Year Old Daughter

Crystal Davis, Delco resident, arrested and charged with assault after punching 9 year-old daughter in hospital waiting room.

The town of Chester, Pa., known for its gun violence, is in the news again. Crystal Davis, 36, allegedly punched her 9-year-old daughter in the face while in a hospital waiting room last week left the girl behind when witnesses tried to intervene, police said. According to Philly.com, she has been charged with assault, driving with a suspended license and related offenses, the police said.

It's not clear why Crystal Davis, 36, of Chester, and her daughter were at Taylor Hospital in Ridley Park about 9 p.m. last Thursday or what prompted the assault, Ridley Park Police Chief Thomas Byrne said.

When another person in the waiting room saw Davis punch the girl, she tried to intervene, but Davis threatened her and members of hospital staff who tried to come to the girl's aid, police said. Source

Like a true scumbag, when Crystal Davis realized she was outnumbered as she savagely attacked her daughter, she reportedly fled the scene. The child, who was examined by hospital staff, is now in the custody of her grandparents. Sorry, I don't care what a nine year old child does, short of committing murder, he or she does not deserve to be punched by anyone, much less a parent.
