North Little Rock mom charged in child-abuse case
A North Little Rock woman was arrested Friday after locking her son in a 100-degree room with no water and no electricity and forcing him to relieve himself in a bag, police said.
North Little Rock officers arrested Prestance Braggs, 28, on a second-degree charge of endangering the welfare of a child after a relative called officers to the home for a welfare check, according to a police report.
Officers said Braggs lied to them multiple times, saying her 10-year-old son was at a cousin's house or was not home at the moment, but she eventually led them inside. Officers said the child was afraid, overheated and dehydrated.
The child had no access to water, and the "house was in such disarray, it was unfit to live in," the report said.
Braggs was arrested and charged, and the child went to stay with another relative, according to the report. Officers said they reported the child's living condition to the Arkansas Child Abuse Hotline.
Braggs had been released by Monday afternoon.
