Authorities say a Pennsylvania mother was arrested after handcuffing her son to an oil tank in a basement while she was at work.

Chazzity Candelario, 33, told officers she would chain her son, 11, for up to two hours or lock him in a utility room in their Lebanon County home.

Officers had responded to the scene just before 10 p.m. on January 11 for reports of a child chained to his bed.

After officers arrived, they found the boy handcuffed to the railing of an upper bunk bed in the building.

She was charged with unlawful restraint of a minor, false imprisonment and endangering the welfare of children.

Fox43 also reported that Candelario would keep track of what the boy ate while watching the cameras in the house.

She is said to have woken up in the early hours of January 11 due to an ‘eating violation’ after the young boy ate too many hot dogs before she chained him up.

Candelario then left the house for the remainder of the day and did not return, and was still not home when officers arrived on the scene.

She later told officers that she “has a hard time controlling her children” while she works.

Lebanon’s public prosecutor, Pier Hess Graf, said: ‘There is a difference between respect for authority and disciplining your child and abuse.

‘This is abuse. Leaving a child chained and handcuffed between 5am and 10pm is absolutely horrifying.”

She added: “I can’t imagine being that little boy and thinking that this one person on earth, who is supposed to love me, care for me and protect me, this is what she thinks is appropriate is to do to me.”

Candelario posted $100,000 bail on Jan. 16, according to court records. She is expected back in court on January 23.
