Now this is just crazy…
GRAPEVINE, Texas – A 22-year-old man is behind bars for pushing his girlfriend’s son into traffic on Highway 121 in Grapevine, police say.
Witnesses told investigators that Michael Jerome Walker also fiercely shook the 5-year-old boy and held him over his head on the side of the busy road just north of DFW Airport.
The child, his mother and Walker were all in a car headed to Fort Worth from Lewisville when the two adults began to argue around 11 p.m. Saturday.
Police say Walker began assaulting his girlfriend, and she became so frightened she stopped her car in the middle of traffic and got out.
Witnesses say Walker grabbed the boy and held him in the air on the side of the highway.
The child managed to escape his grip, but Walker pushed the youngster into traffic.
Motorists slowed down to avoid hitting the little boy. Grapevine police responded to 911 calls and found the child safe.
Walker is being held on child endangerment charges and assault, as well as on several warrants from other cities.
Another example of toxic relationships. I’m sure this didn’t start that night. Beating on the mom is one thing, but taking it to her child is another. People are losing their minds…and he’s going to lose his butt virginity in jail. They don’t take kindly to people to mess over kids.

Wow…. The reality is… there are really psychos out there who carry on with this type of behavior. I’m glad to hear the child was okay but I’m sure the child is going to be held by child services. The mother needs to really prove that she’s stable and has a healthy lifestyle enough to really take care of this child cuz right now with her taste in men she doesn’t deserve to have her child in her care….
What kind of monster would attack the child? smh People these days I tell u…
