In an attempt to thwart national terrorism by her own two children to the helpless passengers on the same airline flight, Tamera is now an admitted terrorist (on the advice of her lawyer) and has now lost custody of her children.
In her attempt to contain her unruly children (as any good mother should do)
Tamera has now been forced to accept the brand of being deemed as unfit parent
and thus being stripped of her parental rights, enabling her children's foster parents to apply for adoption.
And what exactly was Tamera's crime? Nothing more than an attempt to discipline her children for the sake of the comfort of her fellow passengers.


Reporting from Los Angeles and Oklahoma City -- Tamera Jo Freeman was on a Frontier Airlines flight to Denver in 2007 when her two children began to quarrel over the window shade and then spilled a Bloody Mary into her lap.

She spanked each of them on the thigh with three swats. It was a small incident, but one that in the heightened anxiety after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks would eventually have enormous ramifications for Freeman and her children.
