An Orlando mom was arrested after police said she attacked her child for flushing $720 of her rent money down a toilet, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Police responded to Danielle Whipple’s home at around 7:45 p.m. Sunday when an anonymous caller saw her hitting a child, with the child’s nose bleeding. According to witnesses, the 24-year-old was "disciplining her child after realizing the kid flushed $720 of rent money down a toilet,” the Sentinel reports.
Police found Whipple crying and saying, “I’m going to lose custody of (the child),” the arrest report states. The child had a black eye and a red handprint on a cheek and told police the money was flushed because Whipple didn't want to watch a movie.
One of her roommates told police he heard a couple smacks and then Whipple say, "‘I wish I never had you’,” the report states.
Whipple faces a child abuse charge and was released on bail Monday.
