DCF WORKER ARRESTED FOR BEATING HER OWN KID
A regional director for Georgia’s child protection
division is facing a child cruelty charge involving her daughter.
Richmond County Jail records show that 34-year-old Sharonika Wesby
Wimberly was being held on a charge of first-degree cruelty to children.
The 15-year-old Richmond Academy student told school authorities her
mother had hit her in the arm with a broom handle for overuse of a
cellphone.
Reports say the mother admitted to disciplining her daughter but contended she used a studded belt (oh yeh b/c that’s much better than a broom). Both items were retrieved from Wimberly’s home, he said, but injuries were found consistent with the use of the broom handle.
Doctors initially thought the teen’s upper arm was broken as a result of the assault, but after X-rays were taken, it was diagnosed as severe deep tissue bruising.
Richmond County sheriff’s Sgt. Dan Carrier said Academy of Richmond County officials called a state agency’s hotline Tuesday to report suspected child abuse and reached the child’s mother, Wimberly.
Carrier says Wimberly is the regional director for the Division of Family and Children Services. Authorities say the 15-year-old student told school officials her mother hit her in the arm with a broom handle for overuse of a cell phone.
A DFCS official said Wimberly has been suspended. Jail records do not indicate whether she has an attorney.
