Wait, what?
Here are the details via NY Daily News:
The potato-battered boy told deputies that he was sent scurrying into the bathroom for safety Wednesday night after he asked 46-year-old Rachel Salters about dinner, WESH-TV reported.
The question apparently set Salters off, causing her to allegedly kick the locked bathroom door in and hit the child in his head with the bag of spuds — multiple times.
When that was through she allegedly began pummeling him with individual potatoes.
In addition to being hit with a charge of principal to child abuse, she was also charged with tampering with physical evidence and booked into the Volusia County jail Thursday morning.
The boy has since been placed in custody of the Department of Children and Families. I’m going to take a wild guess and say she REALLY didn’t feel like cooking that day.
