The Kentucky mom told the detectives that she merely wanted to prove a point.
On Wednesday, the Kentucky authorities arrested 34-year-old Miranda Polston of Somerset. The Kentucky mom was charged with criminal abuse after she forced her 14-year-old daughter to drink alcohol to the point of unconsciousness just to prove a point. The entire incident was recorded and the clip uploaded to social media.
Kentucky Mom Said She Wanted to Teach Her Daughter a Lesson about Drinking
On Wednesday, the authorities were summoned to a Somerset house after a disturbing video surfaced on social media. Miranda Polston, the social media user who created and uploaded the material, was arrested and charged with criminal abuse.
During her police interview, the Kentucky mother declared that on the 10th of March, she caught her 14-year-old daughter drinking alcohol and decided to teach her a lesson.
As a result, the woman forced the teen to drink more alcohol than she could handle in an attempt to make her sick. To make matters even more interesting, the Kentucky mom recorded the entire incident which she considers to be ‘amusing.’
Needless to say, the Somerset detectives were not amused by what they saw. The video depicts a young girl sitting on a chair or, better said, trying to hold on to the chair, while two small boys to be keeping her from falling off.
At one point, probably following his mother’s instructions, one of the boys offered the girl a bottle of alcohol. After taking only one sip, the 14-year-old comes crashing on the floor.
Following her arrest, the Kentucky mother declared that the whole situation was unfair and that she will file an appeal. Once more, she told the detectives that she did not want to injure her daughter but rather prove to her that alcohol is dangerous and that she would do well to stay away from it.
