Early last week, the mother of a 10-year-old was arrested after allegedly abusing and injuring her child, in addition to trying to drown him in the bathtub.
According to reports, between April 15 and April 21, the woman took out her aggression on her son after reportedly becoming upset when he told her he would rather live with his father. In response, she allegedly grabbed a bottle of bleach and doused her son with the liquid.
The boy went to the bathroom and got in the tub to wash off, and his mother reportedly entered and held him under the water in an alleged attempt to drown him. It was reported that the youngster pretended to be dead so she would stop. When she realized he was faking, the woman allegedly locked her son in a closet.
