Boy Is Taped to a Wall – level 1
22-06-2021 15:00
There is a video about a mother in Ohio. She is eighteen years old. Her son is two years old. She wants to cook and clean, but she cannot. Her son is running around too much.
She takes a piece of tape and puts him on the wall. She puts tape over his mouth. He cannot run and he cannot speak. He cries.
She puts the video on the Internet. Someone watches the video and calls the police. They arrest the mother. The police also take her son. This is more safe for him.
Difficult words: tape (a long plastic material which has glue on one side), arrest (put in prison), safe (without danger).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
