Fla. mom arrested for dunking child in fancy hotel pool in revenge for what kid did to her son: police

Tiffany Lee Griffith, 36, got in the pool at the fancy Gaylord Palms Hotel in Orlando on Friday afternoon and started screaming at the child after he dunked her own 6-year-old son, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.

She then “placed her hands on the victim’s shoulders and forcibly dunked him underwater for several seconds,” police said.

The boy got out of the pool “visibly upset” and bleeding from his nose and immediately told his parents what happened, according to police.

Griffith of Fort Meyers then began yelling at the victim’s mother before leaving the pool area, cops said.

Witnesses reported that three children, including the victim and Griffith’s son, were playing in the pool when the “splashing became aggressive,” prompting the freak-out.

She was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse and booked at the Osceola County Jail where she is being held without bond, jail records show.
