Unfortunately, children often become the lightning rod for the wrath of unbalanced parents. That’s what happened with her son 27-year-old Whitney white, who used a Taser against him.
Such a terrible way a native of Houston, Texas, to punish the child for poor academic performance during his studies. It didn’t stop the tender age of the boy at the time of the incident he was only 5 years old.
On Monday, the woman appeared in court where she was charged with mistreatment of a child and causing him bodily harm.
The boy, who turned 6 years old, said that she used a Taser twice. The mother confirmed his words and explained his actions by saying that he could not think of a better punishment. «I wanted to talk to him about his studies, but he refused and ran away from me. I believe that the answer is «no» — a sign of disrespect,» said she.
As it turned out, white did not deny his psychological problems and even attended anger management classes.
Now nervous mother will have the opportunity to relax from the kids — she was removed from the upbringing of the victim’s son and his brother, who is now 2 weeks old. With a younger child white were allowed to see each other under the supervision of the guardianship, because she breastfeeds.
The court has not yet established an additional measure of punishment for aggressive mother — she was released on bail until the next meeting which will be held in September.
Unfortunately, child abuse is not uncommon. According to the University of Texas, in 2015 in the state, there were 40 thousand of such cases, in which 17 151 children were taken away from their parents.
