Man pays dearly for fighting girlfriend

Stanley “Kiddy” Jno Baptiste of 3rd Street Canefield has learnt that fighting a woman is probably not the best idea and he now has to pay dearly for his “error of judgement.”

Jno Baptiste appeared in court on Friday and according to reports the whole melee began on November 3 when he called his children’s mother and asked her to bring the children to his home. However, she responded that she was at a friend’s home in Fond Cole and instructed him to meet her there.

Jno Baptiste went to Fond Cole and after taking a drink of Red Cap rum, confronted the woman, telling her to come home with him. She refused and asked for money instead, to which Jno Baptiste responded with a series of explicit words.

But his burst of profanity was not enough to calm Jno Baptiste, who lunged at the woman, grabbed her, and began fighting with her in full view of everyone in the house. He then took a bottle of perfume and jammed it into her mouth. She was later taken to hospital with injured  lips.

But when the police were called Jno Baptiste had a completely different story in which he claimed that the woman was the aggressor as she had struck him with a piece of iron and he had only retaliated.

To drive home his story he began complaining of injuries that he received when he was allegedly struck by the woman. The police then decided to take him to hospital but upon arrival Jno Baptiste escaped by running away.

He was arrested four days later.

He was slapped with charges of battery on a woman; wounding and escaping custody.

He pleaded guilty to all the charges.

To make matters worse, Jno Baptiste had a  pending warrant for his arrest for failure to pay a fine of $1,000 just over a year ago.

In court on Friday Jno Baptiste was remorseful and in tears. “I’m sorry for what happened … I love my kids,” he said between sobs.

He told the court that he was aware of the warrant out for him for his failure to pay the fine or face four months in jail. “I have most of the money and I expected my mom to assist me with the rest,” he stated.

Not amused, Magistrate Candia Carette George told him that she always “frowned on men who raise their hands on women.”

“Women are to be loved, cherished and respected, not to be beaten by men and I always frowned on men who do such … if you all can’t agree walk away,” she told him.

He was remanded in custody for his failure to pay the $1,000 fine and for the charge of battery he was fined $750; for wounding $750 and escaping lawful custody $500 or in default, six months in jail.

“You now have to find $2,000 to pay to the court,” the magistrate told him.

    The sad thing about this whole story is that kiddie will find another lover who read this story and thinks that Liddie will treat her with love and respect. WARNING. All women stay away from KIDDIE he will beat you and disrespect you. Let KIDDIE spend time with dogs that will bite him when he strikes.

    The . Dominica is now a rogue state.

    Laws need to be put in place. According to the Qts talent winner ‘You go keep your money, I go keep my honey and die with my dignity…I born with it!’. And the good for nothing does not even have money and he even wanted her to do like a bloody acrobat.

    He is a troublemaker. Some people can get into trouble and make trouble for themselves and for others. The liquor went to his head. The next time he should drink pop or orange juice. This would not have happened to him if he did.
    He is a joker; made me laugh too, running away from the police. :lol: He thought he is speedy Gonzales and that the police would not catch up with him. :lol: How far did he expect to go? He is in more hot water than previously. I hope the women leaves him. This is no love, beating up on a woman. He needs to be rehabilitated.

    People don’t even hit animals anymore cause they have rights. Why does a man think he has the right to abuse a woman and why does a woman accept that treatment? I hope she does not accept his “I won’t do it again lies or “I love you” lies. Unless he gets help he will do it again and the next time may be worse. You deserve better young lady; walk away this man is no good.

    Let’s go to my home, so he could abouse her sexually and physically.Dominican women wake up and smell the coffee!!The judge is right, you are to be loved,cherrished and respected!!
    You , Women we have the power use it!! this is 2012.
    Escaping from the police, what a joke, lots of them are also women hitters. There should be more protection for women, and harsher punishment to the abusers!!

      Look on the flip side of things. If you are attacked… You retaliate. By accepting that and re-itterating, if a woman atks a man and that man does nothing, to the public he is alright; to me, he is an ass.

      Reason: If you dress like a man, swag like a man, and atk a man. Then by Jove you are a man.

      Why should a guy not atk back? Who gave her the right to atk him?

      The same question to a woman. Why should she be hit by a guy and not hit back?

      Personally, if I were not able to exact my revenge and have to sleep with that, it could incite madness of a degree.

      Justice is justice. Don’t bend it to suite 1 gender, be it male or female.

      Disclaimer: A man should never raise his hand on a woman. A woman should never be the cause of said situation. If she wasn’t the cause, then all out.

    Any kind of physical abuse of women must be dealt with in a harsh way by the courts.Such abusers should be given stiff sentences.I suggest a one year mandatory sentence at the state penitentiary.(jail)Please stop that foolishness called fines. There should be no fines for attacks on women and girls. Yes girls.Didn’t you know? Women, girls ladies that kind of abuse is not love.Love doesn’t beat up women and girls.We need to up date our laws.We need to set up a family court system in Dominica.

      What about verbal and physical abuse of men, what some of us in Dominica fail to realize is that there are men who are abuse daily by their wives/lovers, etc, so why focus on one and not both

      Man who are verbally and physically abused by the women do not report it, since them women have them underneath their feet using them as door mats and they cannot talk

      I am against both abuses be it women or men,I know of married men in Dominica, their wives taking good care of themselves some not working the husband is the one working and he cannot even take a dime from his paycheck it goes directly to his master his wife, why when women beat up men it is ok and when do the same it is a different cry, too much double standard when it comes to abuse

    Any coward who would beat up a woman needs to receive a much stiffer Sentence than this. We need men of courage in our country who love and protect their women… Never EVER beat them up! Abuse is never right.
    A man who abuses his woman is a weak, pathetic, insecure, immature and wicked soul. The end.

      Tiny, you are still around? Where have you been? Have you been writing under another name? Or did you take a holiday? :lol:
      They will pay the fine but enough is enough. If they keep beating women, they will spend the rest of their days in prison.
      Tiny, you know that beating could lead to death. It is a serious offence and should be regarded as such by the Court.

    You could say that many of this generation of Dominicns were dragged up not brought up. They have no manners, no respect, no love. The heart has nothing to do with their feelings for another, only their p…s. Beyond that ignorance is bliss.
