HAZLETON, LUZERNE COUNTY -- A Luzerne County mother charged in a horrific case of child abuse. Now the Hazleton woman is behind bars.
Police say 33-year-old Barbara Reimiller hit her 8-year-old son with a metal pipe and fed him dog food. She's also accused of locking the boy in a room with no bathroom for hours at a time when she'd leave the house. Investigators say the abuse happened for nearly a year at Reimiller's Cedar Avenue home.
Police arrested Remiller on Friday after the boy's father contacted Children and Youth when he noticed the injuries.
Reimiller is locked up on $10,000 bail. | |
