Police: Woman beats son who gave Mother's Day card to grandmother instead of her

The boy's sister told police that their mother was angry because her brother had made a Mother's Day card for their grandmother and not their mother. Officers discovered a torn Mother's Day card at the scene, according to the WBRC report.

Police said the children's mother, Shontrell Murphy, 30, admitted to smacking the child but didn't believe she hit the child in a "hard or violent manner."

Murphy was arrested and charged with cruelty to children.
