HOUSTON, TX — A Houston woman is spending the holidays in jail after being accused of locking a 7-year-old girl in a dog cage under a Christmas tree.
Rose Anderson, who is reportedly related to the victim, was charged with unlawful restraint after the incident, which allegedly occurred on or around Dec. 13. Anderson appeared before a Harris County magistrate on Sunday, where her bond was set at $10,000.
Court documents state Anderson allegedly locked the child in the cage as a form of “discipline” for her behavior at school. Houston police accuse Anderson of kicking the girl while she was confined, restraining her with zip ties, and duct-taping her mouth.
Records indicate Anderson, a single mother working three jobs, remained in the Harris County Jail as of Sunday evening.
