Pro-life vid of day: Attacker’s mother sues Created Equal
by Hans Johnson
Restitution has been paid and the charges have been dropped in the case of Victoria Duran, the young woman who attacked Created Equal’s Seth Drayer and damaged signs in an incident in downtown Columbus, Ohio, in July. Now a lawsuit has been filed by her mother accusing the pro-life group of causing emotional distress and inciting harrassment of her daughter. CE counters that no intention of this can be shown, and thus the charges are frivolous.
It was also claimed that Drayer was not pushed into a bus (refuted in this newly-released video footage of the confrontation [WARNING: PROFANITY]) and that no effort was made to contact her daughter or drop the complaint. But CE answers that the prosecution was told from the beginning that they would do so after an apology, and that a “temporary restraining order (which we did not seek)” was put in place preventing them from contact.
Despite the assertion by Duran’s mother, Anairis C. Carter, that no apology would be coming (see her comment on Facebook), the charges were dropped. She also claims her daughter’s autism was a reason for her daughter’s outburst in this interview on Fox28. (Click image to watch):

I am an autistic adult. I used to behave like Ms. Duran in high school, tantruming every time that I was triggered. But being held accountable for my actions changed that. Duran’s mother is enabling her and it’s sickening. If I behaved like Duran did, my own mother would probably write to the judge and ask that I spend time in jail to realize that my actions have consequences.
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.
The Facebook conversation (linked above, in the post) is eye-opening. Wow.
Sorry but if she knew enough to throw that tantrum she should be held accountable. Put her in the slammer where her cellmates just may not be up for that big mouth of hers. Also I hope she loses her lawsuit. SHE is a bully…SHE started it!
I just facebooked her mom
Will this end up in front of Judge Judy where she will be read the Riot Act for her bad behavior?
Judge Judy is pro-choice.
“Anairis C. Carter…claims her daughter’s autism was a reason for her daughter’s outburst”…
================================================================
What is Anairis’ excuse for her behavior?
Yes Judge Judy is, but I do think she tries to be fair.
@Del – I know that tats, piercings,etc. are fashionable now but I just think they look trashy.
Judge Judy is actually a pretty lame show. The defendants are not at risk for the judgments Judy hands down, as the producers of the show pay them. It’s really just a free vacation for the people who appear on the show and their witnesses – they get free airfare or other transportation from where they live, free hotel, $100 to $500 in appearance fees, and are also paid per day during the week while the show is being taped.
Seems to me that in the present time we see more people smirking and laughing while Judy berates them and threatens them, as if it’s a big joke, and in some ways it is.
My favorite part is that Ms. Carter, the alleged soon to be lawyer says her daughter “didn’t assault anyone. She didn’t touch anyone just a camera.” You need to study harder Ms. Carter.
Rebecca, thanks for sharing your good words on autism. I have an autistic nephew. I cringe when I hear Ms Duran’s exploitation of her daughter’s autism as an excuse for criminal behavior because it casts a bad light on those that struggle daily with autism.
Del: Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.
:P and :)
I saw the picture and thought, “The mother looks like a piece of work….”
WOW!!!I am trying not to judge a book by it’s cover but this is her MOTHER??? Really? WOW!! I have many relatives who were/are teachers who used to say “I have had students who demonstrated lack of character, core values, self-control, courtesy, and common sense… then I met their parents and I knew why.” Occasionally the child and parent were nothing alike (so they tried not to prejudge) but many times “the apple did not fall far from the tree”. Just saying.
“the apple did not fall far from the tree”.
It’s not always an apple tree, either. Sometimes it’s a nut tree nyuck nyuck nyuck.
Good one Doug:)
If mom wants to blame the behavior on autism then why does she allow her daughter to ride the bus? Wouldnt she be considered dangerous? And strange she would target this group. I mean would she just attack anyone at random?
