A picture of a 14-month-old boy posted on Facebook has led to the mother's arrest.
The photo shows a Spotsylvania toddler suspended in the air hanging by his twisted t-shirt. The boy is hanging from a door frame crying and obviously uncomfortable.
14-month-old boy dangles from planter hook.
"We had it assigned to a criminal investigation detective through the child victim unit. When she responded, she did an investigation and found that it wasn't a nail, it was actually a planter hook that the child was hanging from. But the child was absolutely fine," Sgt. James Konicki with the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office said.
Alexis Breeden
According to WTVR, the toddler's mother, identified as 18-year-old Alexis Breeden, turned herself in Thursday afternoon after a felony warrant was issued for her arrest.
Investigators say the child's parents had an argument and in retaliation the father posted the photo on Facebook to get the mother in trouble.
Breeden is now facing a felony child abuse charge and recently pleaded guilty to an assault and battery charge against a family member.

So the picture of a young boy, still alive, dangling on a hook from his t-shirt, is all over the news, what a terrible mother she is, and now child 'protective' services will get involved, meaning that kid will end up in care, all because his 18 yr old mother did something stupid, that judging by the picture, she probably thought was funny, even though its clear the kid is in distress. Yet Americans were collectively complicit in the killing of 600 Gazan children. How many pictures of dead mangled children ended up on CBS news? Americans are collectively complicit in arming ISIS. How many pictures of beheaded kids have ended up on CBS news? How many pictures of kids after having being raped or sexually abused by the Hollywood/Washington/Masonic cabal have ended up on CBS news? Oh that's right, they're too busy defaming the poor and afro-americans to focus on the real criminals.
