This troubling story is something that you could never imagine a mother doing to her precious children. According to KTLA, a North Carolina teen is facing charges of assault and child abuse after authorities said she intentionally crashed her vehicle into one carrying her two young children and being driven by their father. The alleged reason for her committing these crimes is because of custody battles between her and the children’s father. Here is more of the story from KTLA:

KTLA: “Kendra Kerry Boyd, 22, of Marion in McDowell County is facing three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of child abuse, officials said.

Deputies were called to Oakdale Road in Old Fort on the afternoon of Friday, March 8, 2019, in regards to a vehicle collision involving a domestic dispute over child custody issues, authorities said.

Upon arrival, deputies learned Boyd was driving recklessly and intentionally crashed her vehicle into one being driven by 21-year-old Philip Clapp of Black Mountain, according to authorities.

In Clapp’s vehicle were his and Boyd’s two children, 2-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl, officials said. The two have been in a custody dispute over the kids.

The North Carolina Highway Patrol also took Boyd into custody on suspicion of careless and reckless driving”.

Now who in their right mind would want to put their children in this type of danger? Anything could have happened and their children could have easily been injured. Well let’s pray the children are in a safe environment and hopefully they won’t ever have to experience anything like this again. Now, you’re officially in the KNOW!
