So it turns out that Dwight Howard is not the only person being investigated for abuse in the case of his six-year old son. The boy’s mother Royce Reed whom filed the charged against Dwight, it also being investigated for abusing him as well.
via TMZ Sports:
The Florida Dept. of Children and Families (DCF) got a call in February from 6-year-old Braylon’s school, informing authorities the boy had been belted on the back of his neck and leg for using “potty words.”
According to docs, baby mama Royce Reed fessed up and said she did indeed belt the boy because he “dropped the f-bomb” in school. Authorities checked out the kid and there were no obvious marks she told them she only hit him once with a child fabric belt. The case was closed out, but school officials spoke with Reed and accused her of using excessive force on the child.
Reed called DCF in August, saying Howard belted Braylon badly and Howard subsequently copped to it. Howard however said the case was closed which Reed vehemently denied. Howard is now currently the subject of a criminal child abuse investigation for the incident.
Howard has not addressed the media and has sat out the Rockets last two games with a knee injury.
