FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY: A mother has been arrested and charged for allegedly using a stun gun on her own child after he demanded strawberry milk. Mary Cirillo from Kentucky has reportedly been charged with two counts of first-degree criminal abuse of a child under the age of 12.
The 26-year-old had allegedly taken methamphetamine and marijuana when she pointed the Sabre S-1005 Stun Gun at her six-year-old son on or around July 7. Not just that, it has been alleged that Cirillo's boyfriend also used the gun on the minor in late June. FOX 56 News, referring to an arrest citation, reported that the mother has claimed her innocence and asserted that she and her boyfriend had no intention of harming the little boy.
Who is Mary Cirillo?
As per Cirillo’s Facebook page, she is from Jasper, Tennessee, and has been in a relationship since March of this year. Her social media shares reveal that she is a mother of two boys. In late May, she posted several photos on Facebook with a caption that read, “Had a fun day with the kids day 2 of summer break.”
Another post from mid-May showed her lovingly posing with her children as she wrote, “Had lunch with my boys today at school.” A user commented below it, “I love these pictures best ones get.” The second one added, “Love Family.”
