When officers located Miller and asked her what happened she said the child was misbehaving by not doing their chores and playing video games.

She told officers that she grabbed an extension chord and used it in a “whipping fashion” to discipline the child, according to court documents.

Officers asked Miller about the scars on the child which she originally said were from the child being outside, before admitting that she had hit the child in the past with belts.
