A Pennsylvania mother was arrested over the weekend after her 11-year-old son called 911 and said he was chained to a bunk bed in his home.

A Lebanon County Regional Police officer responded to the call and found the boy handcuffed to the railing of a top bunk, PennLive.com reported. According to the arrest affidavit for 33-year-old Chazzity Candelario, the boy said he was initially handcuffed to a post in the basement but somehow got free and “accidentally” handcuffed himself to the bed.

Candelario reportedly told police she has a hard time controlling her chidlren while she is away at work so she would lock the boy in a 3 foot by 8 foot utility room or handcuff him to a fuel tank in the basement. The boy said he would be restrained to the fuel tank for as much as two hours at a time.

The document did not say how often he was restrained in the home.

Candelario was charged with unlawful restraint of a minor, false imprisonment of a minor, and endangering the welfare of children. She is being held on a $100,000 bond and has a hearing set for January 23.
