Woman charged with abusing 7 children
TAMPA (AP) – A Tampa woman has been charged with abusing seven children in her home.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office says 31-year-old Stacey Joanna Horace used belts, electrical extension cords, wooden spoons, hammers and a stun gun to discipline the children.
The children are ages 11 months to 10 years. Deputies say they sustained marks and bruises as a result of the abuse.
The sheriff’s office would not disclose Horace’s relationship to the children.
