A Sacramento, California, mom allegedly kicked and backhanded her 2-year-old daughter on a plane after her little one woke her up during a May 1 flight from Mexico, according to federal court documents.Breanna Mistler, 33, allegedly shook her daughter "like a rag doll" while screaming, "Shut the f--- up," which sparked a fight with other passengers who tried to protect the child, court documents say.
"Even by the horrific standards of child abuse cases, this is shocking," prosecutors wrote in the criminal complaint. "It is also the second time in six months that Mistler was charged with endangering her child."Customs and Border Protection officers detained Mistler at the airport and noted bruises in multiple places on the toddler, federal prosecutors said in a press release. The Port of Seattle Police and the FBI took over the investigation.
