Cops: Mom made daughter kneel on raw rice, grits for hours
ORLANDO, Fla. -
Deputies arrested a 38-year-old Orange County woman after they said she made her daughter, who is a minor, kneel on raw rice and grits for five hours, causing severe cuts to the child's knees.
Investigators took Mequisha Olden to jail Saturday night, charging her with child abuse, after responding to a home her daughter went to to report the alleged abuse.
According to a witness, the child had marks "all over her back and shoulder area," as well. Deputies said those marks included a visible outline of a belt buckle in several places.
Deputies said the mom admitted to using a belt buckle to repeatedly beat the girl, in addition to forcing her to kneel on the rice. She said the "whooping" was in response to the child's bad behavior on the school bus.
