A woman, whose son was involved in a tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia, has been indicted for allegedly abusing her elderly mother. The incident, which occurred in November, involved the woman taping her 73-year-old mother to a chair and causing damage to her home.

The mother was found bound to a chair for almost 24 hours after a concerned friend discovered her situation. The abuse reportedly took place after the woman demanded her mother accompany her to confront her ex-partner, the father of her son involved in the school shooting.

Allegations include the woman taping her mother to a chair, stealing her phone, and causing damage to the property. The incident resulted in injuries to the elderly woman, who expressed reluctance to see her daughter face severe legal consequences.

The woman, who has a history of criminal activities, was arrested in December and granted bail in April. Charges against her include exploitation of an elderly person, false imprisonment, criminal damage to property, and theft.
