A Texas mom allegedly duct-taped a 7-year-old relative’s mouth shut then locked her in a cage for hours under a Christmas tree.
Single mom Rose Anderson zip-tied the girl in her Houston home as “discipline” for “her behavior at school,” according to court documents obtained by ABC 13, which only described the youngster as a relative.
She kicked the girl and left her locked up for hours without food, water or a bathroom — forcing her to urinate on herself, the docs said.
The girl was finally freed — but Anderson will likely now spend the holidays in jail, facing a felony charge of unlawful restraint, the outlet noted. She is being held at the Harris County Jail on a $10,000 bond after an initial hearing Sunday.
