The boy is then alleged to sit by his mom’s car and throw rocks at it according to the Miami Herald.
When the boy’s father arrived on the scene he told police that his son was standing outside the house with a bag containing his shoes and clothing.
At that moment, Perugia came out and told the boy’s father to take his son and leave. Then it is alleged that the boy told his father that his mother hit him. The police only got involved after the boy’s aunt went to a police station to report the alleged violence. The boy’s father said he wanted to press charges for child abuse. Perugia has since been arrested and is being held without bail. She is accused of inflicting mental and physical injuries on a child.
