A Louisiana district attorney said on Friday he has no intention of charging a 30-year-old mother arrested for whipping her three boys after she found out they had burglarized a neighbor’s house.
(FOX)- Schaquana Spears was arrested June 20 in Baton Rouge and charged with two counts of cruelty to juveniles — felony charges.
A sheriff’s report said she allegedly whipped her 13, 12 and 10-year-old boys. The report said lacerations on the 13-year-old’s arms had bled and lacerations broke the skin on the 12-year-old’s arm. The report said the 10-year-old was whipped too, but much less than his brothers.
But East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III told The Advocate, “At this time I have no intention to prosecute. It would take something significant to change my opinion.”
Spears found herself in the national spotlight after being arrested and then was held up as a model parent by high-ranking state officials.
