In Georgia, America, a woman was arrested by the police because she allegedly put her son in danger. Actually, the woman's son had gone alone some distance from the house. The child is only 10 years old and he had gone less than a mile away. Due to this, his mother was arrested by the police. The woman was accused of putting her 10-year-old son in danger. The officials accused the woman that she did not keep an eye on her son, due to which he had gone about a mile away from the house.

A 41-year-old woman named Brittany Patterson took her second son to the doctor on October 30. The woman received a call from the Fannin County Sheriff's Department informing her that her son Soren had left the house and gone to the city. The woman was a little worried at first, but she was not too concerned about his safety.

forced to fill a bond

Deputies arrived and dropped Soren off at home. Patterson thought the matter was over with her son's return. But, a few hours later, sheriff's department deputies went to the family's home and arrested Patterson. The woman was arrested and taken into custody. She was then forced to post a $500 bail bond.

Patterson felt very bad about this. Talking to the media, he said that at that time he was feeling anger and frustration. Because, my children were watching this being done by the sheriff department officials. They asked me to put my hands behind my back and till that time I could not understand what I had done that I was being treated like this.

Always keep children under supervision

Sheriff's department officials gave Patterson a condition that her children would never be left alone far from home if she signed a safety plan that guaranteed that her children would always be supervised. Patterson said she was pressured by officials to sign the plan. She was told that if she signed it, the charges against her would be dropped. Patterson refused to sign the form. The woman said she would fight the false charge, which could result in a year in prison.

Patterson said that this is not right, I have not done anything wrong, I will fight for this. Patterson's lawyer, David DeLugas, questioned in court, will parents now always have to know the exact location of their children? He said, will all parents have to put GPS on their children? Parents usually make the right decisions for their children.
