EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- A woman who had been drinking and unhappy with the way her son cleaned his bedroom allegedly punched the boy in the head and attacked him with an extension cord and an ashtray, police said.

Kimberly Basinger, 34, of Evansville, was arrested Tuesday and charged with child neglect resulting in injury and public intoxication. Her son, whose age was not released, suffered bruises near his right eye, an abrasion on the back of one leg and had some bumps on his head, according to an Evansville police report.

That's sad. It obviously wasn't the room -- just an excuse to be abusive.
