Boys says mom slapped, bit him over peanut butter
DAYTON - A 36-year-old woman is in the Montgomery County Jail on a child endangering charge after her son told officers she repeatedly slapped him and bit him over peanut butter, according to a police report.
Officers responded to the 100 block of Kastner Avenue about 6:20 p.m. Monday, March 8, where they found an 11-year-old boy with redness on his face and back, the report stated. The boy said he was watching his 1-year-old niece and gave her peanut butter to eat.
The toddler got peanut butter on her face, so the boy woke his mother, Traci Shackleford, because he didn’t want to watch his niece anymore, the report stated.
The boy said Shackleford slapped him several times, knocking him down and then bit him on the back. The boy’s father arrived and said Shackleford has been “abusing pills,” the report stated.
Shackleford told police her son would not listen when asked to help clean up the peanut butter, the report stated. Shackleford said her son also cussed at her.
Children’s Services was called to the scene, but the boy was released to his father, authorities said.
