Woman Allegedly Chokes Utah Boy At Water Park For Splashing

Some stories that come across my desk are truly hard to believe. I heard over the weekend that a woman made national headlines for allegedly confronting a young boy at a water park for doing something that people go to water parks to do.

It's not uncommon to see kids misbehaving at the local waterpark. However, if getting splashed causes extreme anger within yourself, maybe such a location isn't the right place for you to spend a Saturday.

Reports came out this past weekend out of northern Utah that a woman allegedly got so irate at a young boy for getting splashed that she scratched him and forcefully squeezed his throat, according to details shared by the New York Post.

A Woman Was Arrested Saturday At A Utah Water Park For Allegedly Choking A Boy

Draper is 20 miles south of Salt Lake City and is home to Cowabunga Water Park. It's near the Lazy River float area where the incident is alleged to have happened. ABC 4 Utah has reported that a 68-year-old woman was arrested and charged with a third-degree felony for her actions toward the boy.

Splashing is something that is well within the rules of a water park. If you find yourself getting excessively splashed to the point where you're growing angry from it, water parks are usually big enough that a person can find another section to keep themselves entertained and cool.

Strangling someone for getting splashed will result in a police response. Be kind to each other this summer.
