Out of the Frying Pan and Into The Fire: New Jersey Woman Jailed After Whacking Boy With Frying Pan For Dropping Bagel

Donna Ambrosio-Ruglio, 45, really loves that dog. Ambrosio-Ruglio was worried that the dog might die after a 9-year-old boy in her care dropped a bagel with cream cheese and it was eaten by the dog. She promptly called the boy stupid and hit him in the head with a frying pan.

The boy says that she also struck him in the back. She is now facing a charge of endangering the welfare of a child.

What is even more shocking is the affidavit supporting the charge that said the boy “said that the defendant has done things like this “over a thousand times’ and he never said anything because he wanted to forget about it but this time he had to because it was the “most serious.'” I wonder if the boy would like a dog. . .

I only found this particular story interesting because our dog last night moved from her steady diet of socks and decided to eat one of my son’s mouth retainer. I did not go the frying pan route, though it would not have been the boy who would have come to mind with pan in hand at that particular moment.
