THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

* From WBNS-10TV: See surveillance video of the assaults

The 68-year-old grandfather accused of punching children in a Northwest Side Walmart appeared in Franklin County Municipal Court this morning.

Judge Mark Hummer set bond for Ralph Conone, of 5687 Shadowbrook Dr., at $150,000. Should he post bond, Conone was ordered to stay away from his victims and Walmart while the case proceeds.

Columbus police have charged Conone with two misdemeanor counts of assault but said they expect that more victims will come forward as their investigation unfolds.

Hummer told the news media not to photograph Conone in court to protect the police investigation. Police said they hope other children can identify him.Conone was caught Wednesday night at the Wal-Mart at 2700 Bethel Rd. after a 6-year-old boy complained to his mother that Conone had punched the back of his head.

The woman followed Conone out of the store, grabbed his arm, led him back inside and notified security.

Police said a review of the surveillance video in the store confirmed not only the assault on that boy but other assaults on his 7-year-old brother and two other children who haven't been identified.

Conone told police he would put his keys between his fingers and strike the children when their parents weren't looking. He said he'd been doing it since January because he liked the excitement of getting away with it.

His public defender said in court today that Conone has mental health issues.

Well, someone needs to discipline these kids.

I read the title and burst out laughing

Well... he likes punching people in the head.

Wonder if he will like it when he gets Donkey Punched in prison?

LOL at #2 First thing I thought of when reading the thread title was Milkman.

Seriously, though, that is jacked up for all parties involved.

The guy is lucky that someone didn't catch him in the act or he would be six feet under or in intensive care right now.

I read the title and thought that this was someone disciplining his grandkids, but this dude oughta be punched in the face with his own keys.

Same here.I figured here we go,now you cant teach your kids how to act,but thats way the fukk out of line.:mad:

I admire his restraint, when I'm at Wal Mart I feel like smacking everyone in sight, not just the kids.

If this was anyplace other than Walmart, I would find it surprising. I guess a kid smacking old man, needs to be on the next Walmat Bingo card.

This old guy wasn't smacking kids, he put his key in between his fingers and popped kids in the head to the point that blood was drawn... I am all for giving my kids a swat on the ass when they need it, but using a foreign object to give a puncture wound is not funny and this old guy better be glad a dad didn't get a hold of him and beat the last few years he had left out of him.

So these weren't even his grandchildren or anything?!ROFL I see lots of kids who deserve smacked at Wal-Mart, but certainly not all of them, and definitely not with keys through the fingers. Too bad they told him to stay away from Wal-Mart when he gets out. Poor guy.
















Wish someone would order me to stay away from Wal-Mart. :(

they were on his artificial lawn in his crazy head... they got what they deserved

LMAO. The best part about Wal-Mart is getting your sh3t and getting out.

This. Rotten old bastard.
