Mother Charged With Beating Children and Threatening Flight Attendant on Plane

By Nate

Tamera Jo Freeman is charged with beating her two children on a plane, and then harassing a flight attendant afterwards. Freeman was arrested on Monday at a Denver airport after a flight from San Francisco. Sources say she started beating her children even before boarding the plane, but became more abusive when she got on the plane. After getting very intoxicated, Freeman started beating her 2 and 4 year-old sons for arguing over a window shade. While she was beating them, the two children started crying loudly and backing away into a corner. While Freeman continued to abuse her children, a flight attendant tried to intervene but Freeman began threatening the flight attendant and threw an alcoholic drink on the floor. Freeman told some investigators later on that she never threw the drink down, but that she somehow “lost” her drink after setting it down before beating the children. After the plane landed and Freeman was arrested, the two sons were turned over to a relative. Tamera Freeman, who was sent to court on Wednesday, is facing 20 years in prison if she loses her case.

Both the articles that have been read are not very objective and are both very subjective, but one still doesn’t quite stick to the story. CNN.com talks much more about what will happen to Freeman in court, than what happened on the plane itself. Foxnews.com talked much more about what happened on the flight, and got into much more detail too. So I believe that foxnews.com was much more subjective.
