Lesbian moms attacked outside elementary school
A Toronto-area lesbian couple were the targets of an unprovoked attack and assault by a parent at an elementary school. The women were picking-up their kids Friday, after school, when the man attacked.
Local news reports, "Ms. Dimitriou, 30, and her lesbian partner Jane Currie, 37, said Friday they still can’t believe what happened. 'He clocked me right in the face, like right in the side of my face, and I hit my truck and I couldn’t see anything, like I blacked out,' Ms. Dimitriou said. 'I was awake but I could hear everything but I just couldn’t see anything. Then I think he clocked me again right in the top of my head.' Classes had just let out Monday at Gordon B. Attersley elementary school on Attersley Drive, according to the couple. Ms. Dimitriou said she was helping her son put his backpack into the car when another student’s father came toward her and began yelling. He referred to her and Ms. Currie as men, she said, as she recounted what happened. Ms. Dimitriou said the man swore at her, called her a slang word for lesbian in an aggressive and derogatory way, then 'out of nowhere' spit in her face and punched her."
Dimitriou's partner Currie was also assaulted when she came to Dimitriou's assistance. Currie required four stitches. The attack happened in front of the couple's children, the attacker's children, and other kids at a school. Mark Scott faces two charges of assault.

re: how disgusting
I hope his children understand what he did was wrong and inexcusable.

This is definitely a hate crime. This sick man should receive the maximum penalty under the law. The C.A.S. should also be involved to determine whether this man poses an emotional or other risk of harm to his own children. Is he indoctrinating his children with his own sick ideas? This was not an isolated incident so it would appear that this is ingrained into his character. This sicko should be ordered by the court to undergo a psychiatric assessment for his violent disposition.
I empathize with these two ladies' pain. The incident went beyond absurd.
WOW
Looks like he deserves to pick up trash for community service in the local "gay lesbian district". I think a year sounds good, and he should have to clean up after the pride parade for the next five years.
lame
do they have hate crime laws in Canada? or will the charges be simple assault. i wish someone else would have come to the women's defense. how can anyone see a man hit a woman and not do anything (besides maybe stop him). he deserves a black eye at the very least...
Another man and woman did
Another man and woman did come to their defence. There are hate crime laws here and you can be certain that the Canadian public will be lobbying for this hateful man to be brought to justice for his cowardice. I can not believe that someone would do this in front of their children. I certainly hope that the state intervenes and explores his capability to raise his own children.
Not that two wrongs make a
Not that two wrongs make a right but I wish he'd get a little of what he gave out.
How horrible it must have been for their (and his) children to see what he was doing.
I hope he goes to jail for a very long time too.
that is so sad
those poor people and imagine how scared those children must have been.
Attrocities like this should never happen!!!
It is very sorry to listen or to get news like this. And it worst that cruelty and abomination barely gets news coverage.
People we are on the 21st Century, it is insane that a morbid man like Mr. Scott will probably only get a pat on the hand. Ms. Dimitriou and Ms. Currie have all the right in the world to be partners and to be parents to their child, if they wouldn't love each other or their child they wouldn't be together in the first place.
Then why? why? I ask myself, there's millions of people around the world that hates us as humans as a community? Don't we have rights, are we parasites? NO!!!! last I recall was voting on the Nov. 8th elections, filing my taxes before April 15th, and so on.
We need to speak up and not hide, fight for our rights and tell everyone that you might know, friends, family, coworkers.This could've happened to me!!!
It is time to help open the minds of mosquito brained human beings and make sure that an attrocity like this never happens again. My best wishes to this brave ladies, and my appologies to their son, that had to suffer because we haven't been LOUD ENOUGH to erradicate HOMOPHOBIA.
To Mr. Scott, my message is short and simple; I HOPE YOU ROT IN JAIL YOU SICK BASTARD!!!, to his son I can only say: Please never be like your father.
I can not believe people
Im sitting here shocked! OMG! What is this world comming to?What rock did this guy crawl out from under. FIrst Im shocked this happened. Second in front of children. This guy needs to be locked up and fast. Someone needs to do a homestudy there.
