A 19-year-old mother from Enola was mad at her 16-month-old daughter for crying when she threw the toddler down the stairs, punching her in the face and shaking her violently, according to Fairview Township police.
Pamela S. Kichman was visiting a friend on Poplar Road on Sept. 3 when she got mad at her child for crying and took her outside, police said. A friend of Kichman's told police Kichman was laughing and admitted she just threw her child down the stairs after the friend went outside to check on her, police said.
Kichman also threw the child on the porch, striking her head, police said. Kichman's friend saw the child twitching as if she was having a seizure.
The child's grandmother took her to the hospital where she was treated and released. Kichman was arrested Friday and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and simple assault.
