Handcuffing and denial of water/food is okay
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., June 25 (UPI) -- Charges were dropped Thursday against a Georgia woman who kept her teenage son in handcuffs while trying to perform an exorcism on him.
Sandra Alfred, 46, of Lilburn came to the attention of local police when she reported her 15-year-old son as an unruly juvenile, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. She was arrested June 12 for false arrest and cruelty to a child, after police investigated and discovered she had handcuffed her son for hours at a time and kept him without food or water for up to 12 hours.
"All we have is parents who chose a course of action that government does not like or does not understand. That's all we have," said Judge Robert Mitchum as he dismissed the charges.
Gwinnett County prosecutors could still take the case to a grand jury, the newspaper said.

Wait. Does he still live with that phsyco? That Judge should be arrested.
that is just plain awful. i hope he is okay now and is able to go on with his life. and i bet that the only reason he was labeled like that is he hated the h-hole called school. hopefully he will realize that he does not need to go to school and will pursue a life with great opportunity. maybe even plants!
Horseshit. That's child cruelty. And this person is obviously mentally ill. They should get psychological testing and even treatment.
