Breanna R. Mistler, 33, was arrested at Sea-Tac Airport on May 1 after she allegedly kicked and abused a two-year-old child on a Delta flight from Puerta Vallarta.According to the criminal complaint, multiple passengers witnessed Mistler shake the child "like a rag doll" after the toddler woke her up.Despite other passengers intervening, Mistler continued abusing the two-year-old, the U.S. Attorney's Office says.
In the hearing, a judge said he was concerned about the safety of the child "because had committed the assaults in front of so many people on a lengthy plane trip."Child Protective Services is now working to place the child with a relative. It wasn't mentioned if Mistler was the child's mother.Mistler's next hearing is a preliminary examination scheduled for May 16.
