SAN ANTONIO (WOAI/KABB) - A woman is facing a family violence charge after she reportedly handcuffed her son and whipped him with an extension cord.
We first reported the story this week when a neighbor found a teenage boy wandering around in the Caracol Creek neighborhood with handcuffs and no shoes.
"I asked him if he was okay and he said he needed help," the neighbor said. "He sounded young, very young. I want to say maybe 14."
The neighbor said she noticed the young boy was covered in cuts and scrapes. "He had what looked like belt marks on his legs and his face was pretty beat up."
Following the incident, investigators spoke to the child's mother, identified as Amanda Guevara, 33, who said she handcuffed her son and hit him with an extension cord because he got in trouble at school for vaping in class and for being in possession of a knife, according to court documents.
An arrest affidavit states, Guevara said her son "has been getting in trouble and has not been listening to her stating she has had enough and therefore decided to discipline him for his actions."
Deputies noted in the report that the boy had "whip marks" on both legs. He received medical attention at the scene.
Guevara faces a charge of assault causing bodily injury-family.
