A video uploaded via Facebook Live has viewers enraged after it depicts an Ohio mother allegedly taping her toddler to a wall.
In the short clip, the toddler can be heard screaming while the 18-year-old mother says, “You’ve got the best mom in the whole wide world.”
“Don’t make me put more tape. Now sit still. You can see the TV from right there. You’ll be alright,” she said. With his mouth taped shut, you can continue hearing the toddler’s wails and screams. As the video rolls on, the mother explains why she did it.
“You can’t clean with them running around tearing up? Tape them to the wall,” she said. “You can’t cook or none of that because they running around? Tape them to the wall.”
A complaint was filed with children’s services, but officials have declined to comment, according to ABC SIX FOX 28.
A few days after the video was made public, the mother was back online again, this time telling her audience how she was contacted by family services and is no longer taping the boy up.
“They called children services on me so (expletive) now he in the corner, what you going to do?” she asked. “(Expletive) call children’s service now. (Expletive). I don’t give a (expletive). This time ya’ll can take him.”
No charges have been filed against the mother as of now.
