OLD SAYBROOK
A 54-year-old woman was arrested after allegedly making her son sleep in a dog crate because he had been soiling his bed, police said.Kathlyn Anthony was released on $100,000 bond following an initial court appearance Monday on a charge of risk of injury to a minor.
Anthony was arrested Sunday following an investigation sparked by the boy's sister, who told school authorities that she was tired because she kept getting up at night to let her brother out of his "sleep locker."
Police say the crate was 36 inches by 22 inches, and 30 inches high. Anthony told police she had been seeking outside help for the boy's behavior. She refused comment outside court.
Police said the boy is a under 17, but did not disclose his age or name.
Old Saybrook Police Spokesman Sgt. Kevin Roche said Anthony felt she had exhausted all methods to correct the boy's problem. She made him sleep in the crate for about two weeks before school authorities became involved, Roche said.
