A
Little League mom is in jail this week after threatening her son's coach and
family.
Janet
Chiauzzi, a 44-year-old mother from Long Island, NY was angered after the coach
did not choose her son to be a part of the little league baseball summer travel
team in East Meadow, NY.
Detective Lieutenant Raymond Cote of Nassau County read from one of her letters in a news press conference on Monday.
"I'm
personally making it my goal to make sure you and your family suffers
dearly." "You will be rotting in hell
soon. I will make it happen."
Not
only did the suburban mom of two send threatening letters to the coach but also
to the principal, little league officials and an 11-year-old son of one of the
coaches.
"Accidents happen," Detective Cote read from another letter, "and I would hate to see something terrible happen to your mom, or dad or sister because of your dad's stupidity...He will be harmed and the outcome will not be good for you. You might never see your dad again. You all better watch your f-ing backs."
Chiauzzi
also filed a police report that said the coach abused his children. Upon
investigation, the Nassau County police announced that the accusations were
false.
ABC
news reported the competitiveness of parents is not rare.
Wanda
Holloway, a cheerleader mom from Texas, hired a hit man in 1991 to kill the
mother of her daughter's cheerleading rival in hopes that the tragedy would
cause the opponent to opt out of the competition.
In
2005, Mark Downs, a T-ball coach outside of Pittsburgh, was arrested for
offering $25 to an 8-year-old to injure an autistic player because he didn't
want to use him on the team for the playoffs.
Chiauzzi was prosecuted on Sunday.
Chiauzzi is charged with stalking, falsely reporting an incident, endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated harassment.
