Court documents state on August 17 Melissa Nicole Gibbs punished her 10-year-old son for not doing the dishes by hitting him in the buttocks and upper thigh with a wooden paddle and spanking him with her hand. Police say the boy had extensive bruising to those areas, which was documented with photographs.
After the incident, the boy told two witnesses who took the photos and reported the alleged abuse. The boy told police the bruises were painful.
Investigators say Gibbs admitted that she hit the boy with a wood paddle and her hand and that the punishment was excessive.
Gibbs, 29, is charged with injury to a child.
