A Gastonia, NC woman was arrested Monday and charged with beating a toddler with a belt.
According to wsoctv.com, in Charlotte, Arnta Sheree Lineberger, 23, was charged with misdemeanor child abuse and assault on a child under 12.
Lineberger, who is 4′ 9″ and 125 lbs, reportedly whipped her 3-year-old son with a belt for disobeying her.
Police and child protective services were alerted when the child’s grandmother took him to the hospital Monday. The boy had bruising to both legs, arms and around one eye, according to wsoctv.
Lineberger was held on a $10,000 secured bond. She was released from the Gaston County Jail on Tuesday.
This is not Lineberger’s first run-in with the law and child protective services.
A mug shot from 2010 shows a battered and bruised Lineberger, who was arrested and charged with assaulting the same toddler when he was only 2.
This is yet another example of a woman whose rights to give birth should be removed by the government. Just because a woman is able to give birth does not mean she is qualified to raise children.
