Mom sat on kid's head for one hour to make him submissive (he will be ok)

Susan Elizabeth Kelley placed her son’s head on the seat portion of a wooden dining room chair with a towel placed under the child’s head, according to a warrant obtained Monday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“The accused sat on the child’s head, with full body weight, for approximately 1 hour in an attempt to gain ‘submission’ from the child,” according to the warrant.
The child, who had redness on his head, chest and back, became unresponsive and was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. He is expected to make a full recovery, according to the warrant.

Kelley was arrested on a charge of first degree cruelty to children. She was released from the Cobb County Adult Detention Center on $55,220 bond.

parents to do things like this - things that will gain submission from their children. He's written a book that includes instructions on how to physically discipline babies, instructions on which implements and methods to use according to age, etc. First thing that came to mind when I saw this was that preacher. Wonder if the mother was a follower.
