All puppies, especially 1 month old ones, are going have accidents in your house, and most pet owners know this. However, Charlotte Wonjah, 26, who has admitted to having “anger issues”, seems to have missed the memo, and is now being charged with animal cruelty as well as child abuse after police witnessed her 8 year old son with welts and bruises.
From The Daily Mail:
A Miami mother is accused of beating her 8-year-old son with a rope and killing the family’s English bulldog puppy by repeatedly slamming him on the floor in front of her children.
Charlotte Wonjah, 26, remained in jail Friday after a New Year’s Day court appearance on child abuse and cruelty to animals charges.
Police say she admitted to ‘anger issues’ and said she ‘did not want to clean after the dog’ after the puppy went to the bathroom on the floor.
The mother, a club performer from Miami, is accused of beating her 8-year-old son, whose body had bruises and welts in different stages of healing.
Wonjah was booked into jail Tuesday after police say she attacked her boyfriend of seven years, Juan Suarez, when he returned home with gifts for their children from his mother. She faces two counts of misdemeanor battery for that episode.
Speaking to CBS Miami, Juan Suarez said that he called police Tuesday when his girlfriend attacked his 14-year-old daughter from a previous marriage.
Suarez said Wonjah ‘went ballistic’ and started hitting, punching and biting him for no apparent reason. When his daughter tried to intervene, Wonjah allegedly turned on the teen, hitting her in the face and throwing her against a wall.
When officers responded to the family’s home at 360 Northwest 58th Avenue, they discovered that Wonjah and Suarez’s 8-year-old son had been physically abused as well.
