CINCINNATI -- A Kennedy Heights mother is facing charges for allegedly ordering her young son to attack another boy, then holding the victim down so he could do so.
Twenty-six-year-old Tiffany Hunter remains behind bars following her arrest Monday night. The alleged attack took place in the
6670 block of Kennedy Avenue on Saturday.
According to police, Hunter stopped a 6-year-old boy as he rode his bike, then held his hands down on the handlebars to restrain him while telling her 5-year-old son to punch him in the face.
Police say the young victim was punched several times and suffered a swollen cheekbone as a result.
Hunter is now charged with assault and unlawful restraint.
She is due in court on Tuesday afternoon.
