Mom, 35, whacks teen girl with a Stanley Cup at school gates as victim says 'I thought I was going to die'
A New York teenager has said she was left traumatized after allegedly being hit over the head with a metal Stanley Cup by another girl's mom at her school. Madison Evans, 14, said she is now 'shaking all the time' after the attack left her with 17 stitches - and admits she may never use the brand again because of the distress. 'I can't even look at those cups anymore. Every time I see one, it just brings it all back,' she told the New York Post. The teen said the incident unfolded around 11am Tuesday as she was leaving Brentwood High School in Long Island and was approached by two girls who had issues with her cousin, but who she has never met before. She said the girls began bullying her because of her association with her cousin, and footage from outside the school showed the girls arguing back-and-forth. As one of the girls was held back by a security guard, Toni Monroe, 35, the mother of one of the girls, entered the spat. Monroe was heard telling her daughter to 'give me your Stanley', taking the large metal cup from her hands and confronting Madison with it. The footage allegedly showed Monroe bashing the 14-year-old over the head with the cup multiple times as her daughter also joined in. New York teenager Madison Evans, 14, says she has been left traumatized after allegedly being hit over the head with a metal Stanley cup by another girl's mom at her school The incident unfolded around 11am Tuesday as the teen was leaving Brentwood High School in Long Island, with footage showing two teens confronting Madison before Toni Monroe, 35, the mother of one of the girls, entered the spat Witnesses told the Post that Monroe then tried to run away after allegedly attacking the teen, but was stopped by a security guard. Monroe was arrested by the police in the parking lot and charged with assault. She was released without bail but was ordered to be fitted with an ankle monitor and barred from contacting Madison. Madison said the attack left her with blood streaming down her face, and said she was so shaken from the incident she 'thought (she) was going to die.' The teen said she initially thought Monroe was another girl at the school, admitting she was 'shocked' to find out it was allegedly a mother at the school. 'I thought it was another student, but then when I looked at her, she had a tattoo,' she continued. 'Then I just kept trying to defend myself.' Shameakca Forney, Madison's guardian, said the video was hard to believe as she condemned Monroe's alleged attack. 'If you're going to let the kids fight, then let the kids fight — kids will be kids, we've all done it growing up — but you don't jump in and fight kids,' Forney said. Monroe claimed in court that she was at the school to complain about her own daughter being bullied. But Madison's family told the Post that there was no excuse for the adult to have allegedly attacked the teen. 'As a mom you're supposed to diffuse the situation and take your daughter away to see what's going on instead of attacking a kid with a cup,' said Madison's cousin, Tyleen Smith. Brentwood schools Superintendent Wanda Ortiz-Rivera said in a statement after the footage circulated across social media that the incident was 'unacceptable.' 'The safety and well-being of our students is always our highest priority,' she said. 'This type of behavior will not be tolerated in our schools.'

Shooting in a crowded New York club leaves 3 dead despite record low gun violence
A club shooting in the New York City borough of Brooklyn early Sunday morning has left three people dead and nine others wounded in a year of record-low gun violence in the city. Investigators believe up to four shooters opened fire with multiple weapons at Taste of the City Lounge in Crown Heights after a dispute just before 3:30 a.m. The violence appeared to be gang-related, New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters. 'It's a terrible shooting that occurred in the city of New York,' Tisch said at a news briefing, later calling the killings 'a tragic, senseless act of violence.' The crime is the second mass shooting within weeks in New York City during a year that has otherwise seen declining gun violence. On July 29, a man stalked through a Manhattan office tower with a rifle, wounding one person and killing four others. A New York City police officer was among those who died. Mayor Eric Adams said both recent shootings just reinforce 'why we do this work of going after guns off our streets.' 'This is the second within weeks, and we don't want this to turn into a normal course of doing business of violence in our city," he said. Those wounded Sunday were being treated at hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries, Tisch said. The ages of the victims range from 19 to 61. A 19-year-old man died at the scene and two other men -- ages 35 and 27 -- died after being transported to a hospital. Investigators found at least 42 shell casings from 9 mm and .45-caliber weapons and a firearm in a nearby street. Adams said crisis management teams had been mobilized to provide trauma services and facilitate mediation efforts with the victims' friends and families to try to stop any retaliation. He asked members of the public who might have information about the shooting to help investigators by calling NYPD's crime stoppers line, 800-577-TIPS. 'If you were inside the club, if you heard individuals talking about this shooting, if you witnessed someone fleeing the location, every piece of information will allow us to put the puzzle together," Adams said. Tisch said the violence erupted even as the city has reported the lowest number of shootings and shooting victims on record during the first seven months of 2025. 'Something like this is, of course, thank God, an anomaly and it's a terrible thing that happened this morning, but we're going to investigate and get to the bottom of what went down,' she said.

Mom claims toddler accidentally broke cafe's $1.6K table and she couldn't leave without giving credit card
A mom has sparked fierce fury online after she claimed that her toddler accidentally broke a cafe's $1,600 table and she was told she couldn't leave without handing over her credit card. Kathy Denman was visiting Hazelnut Cafe in Lavallette, New Jersey, with her three-year-old daughter and 76-year-old mom when an unfortunately mishap lead to one of the eatery's marble tables smashing. Video footage of the moment showed the toddler sitting on her grandmother's lap when she pushed on the table in an attempt to slide it away from her. Suddenly, it toppled over and broke as it hit the ground. Kathy explained in a now-viral TikTok video about the ordeal that she was at the register paying for their coffees when the incident occurred. 'I heard a loud bang. The table, which I later learned was 600 pounds, broke into a bunch of pieces. It was a stone table,' she shared. She said she immediately apologized to workers and asked, 'What could we do to make this right?' But she said things 'went down in a way she never could have anticipated or expected.' 'Everyone had mean girl vibes. I understand they were upset, I completely get it. I was ready to pay for the damages, that wasn't an issue,' Kathy said. 'When the owner got on the phone I said, "Oh my God I'm so sorry we're so embarrassed," and the owner said, "Well, the table is almost $2,000, it's $1,600 so you can't leave until I have your license and a credit card."' Kathy explained that her priority was making sure her daughter was OK, as the youngster seemed completely terrified. She wanted to go get her checked out by a medical professional, and asked if she could leave her contact information so they could send her a bill. But Kathy claimed that the owner refused and said she couldn't leave without giving them a credit card and a photo of her license. In response, the cafe has said that it never 'held anyone against their will' and that Kathy was not charged for the table. 'I said, "Well I have to leave to make sure my daughter's OK, she's surrounded by 50 people now, she's three, and I want to make sure my kid's alright,"' alleged Kathy. '"Let me go get her checked out and make sure she didn't get hurt. Bits and pieces of this table broke off into a million directions, let me just catch my breath and make sure she's OK." 'I gave all my contact information, my email, my husband's information, our cell phone numbers, but I wasn't allowed to leave.' Kathy claimed the owner kept telling her that their policy is 'you break it you pay for it,' and continuously reminded her that they had 'everything on video.' 'I gave you all my contact information so that I can make it right for you guys and your business. So for you to keep repeating that everything's on video, I'm not disputing that my kid pushed your table,' Kathy continued, addressing the owner in the TikTok video. She added, 'I was so surprised because not one time on the phone did [the owner] ask if [my daughter] was OK or if anybody got hurt. I was completely humiliated and embarrassed.' It's unclear whether or not Kathy gave her credit card in the end. In a statement shared to Instagram afterwards, the eatery said it was 'grateful' that Kathy, her daughter, mother, and everyone else in the coffee shop at the time were unharmed. 'We understand this incident may have been startling when the table fell with a loud noise, and our priority has been to ensure the family felt supported and cared for,' it wrote. 'Following the incident, we personally called the child's mother to express our concern, offer our support, and share our direct contact information should she need anything.' It said that as an 'added precaution' it has since removed all tables from its locations to 'eliminate any risk' of a similar incident. 'We want to be completely transparent: We would never hold anyone against their will,' it added. 'The mother was not charged for the damaged table, even after asking how she could make it right given the table broke. We requested her contact information for insurance purposes.' It vowed that 'safety and hospitality' are the 'foundation of everything Hazel Cafe does' and described it as an 'unfortunate and rare occurrence.' In her TikTok, Kathy immediately took her daughter to Urgent Care because she said the toddler still seemed 'frozen,' and was told by a doctor that her daughter was probably in 'a state of shock.' 'It was so loud, can you imagine a solid stone table dropping to the ground?' she added. In a follow-up video, Kathy pointed out that the table, Anthropologie's Kanta Rectangular 48-inch Marble Console, which retails for $1,598, only has two legs, which makes it more prone to falling than tables with four legs. 'Crafted of pure marble, this stately console lends a classical element to studies and living rooms alike,' reads a description of the table. Kathy's original video about the situation raked in more than 13.3 million views and sparked an immense reaction from people all across the globe, many of whom took her side and brutally slammed the cafe. In one last post, however, Kathy stated that the cafe had 'reached out and apologized' for how 'her family was treated,' adding, 'We have accepted their apology and are satisfied.'
