Maryland Woman Arrested for Child Abuse on Disney World Flight After 'Miss Piggy' Insults

Kristy Crampton, a Maryland woman, was arrested at Sanford-Orlando International Airport after allegedly assaulting a child on a flight home from Disney World. The boy reportedly called her "fat" and made "Miss Piggy" jokes, which led to an argument during which Crampton took his phone away. Witnesses stated that Crampton struck the child multiple times with her fists and a water bottle, and slammed his head into a plane window as he tried to shield himself. The pilot intervened and police were called; Crampton was charged with felony child abuse and cruelty toward a child. She was released on a $10,000 bond and ordered not to have contact with the child, whose relationship to her remains unclear. Authorities and witnesses described the incident as beyond typical disciplinary action and characterized it as abuse.
