AN EVIL mother who handcuffed her six-year-old son and watched a pit bull savage him has been jailed for at least 19 years.

Angelina Williams, 28, from Ohio, took no action as the dog tore the boy’s throat “like a chew toy,” according to a judge. She asserted she was unaware her actions were illegal.

Williams received her sentence earlier this month from Ashland County Common Pleas Court Judge Dave Stimpert, who noted that Williams had punished her son for refusing to pick up dog feces with his bare hands, as per court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

The dog belonged to the homeowner,  Robert Michalski Jr, and launched a vicious attack when the boy fell from his chair.

Prosecutors stated last August that Williams, Michalski, and a third defendant, Taylor Desiree Marvin-Brown, were in the process of further restraining the boy to the chair when he fell.

It clamped onto the young lad’s throat and refused to release him.

The boy suffered serious cuts to his neck, as well as heavy bruising to his face.

He had to be rushed to hospital by air ambulance for treatment, where concerns for his welfare where raised.

Judge Stimpert, sentencing, said: “That dog tried to rip out his throat.

“I’m not sure that there are words that adequately describe it.”

Michalski reportedly fled the scene with the dog after the attack in an attempt to prevent authorities from seizing the animal.

Williams pleaded guilty in May to kidnapping, obstruction of justice, possessing criminal tools, and four counts of child endangerment – just days before her trial was set to begin.

She had been held without bail since her August 2024 arrest and was credited for 361 days already served.

Prosecutors revealed that Williams had taken her two children — the six-year-old boy and an eight-year-old daughter — to visit Savannah, a small village in Ohio.

During the trip, she started using restraints as a form of punishment – experimenting with handcuffs and tying the children up with ropes.

She even posted a photo of her daughter in restraints online.

Williams did not have legal custody of her son or daughter, and the children were only in her care for a visit at the time of the incident.

During an August 2024 court appearance, Williams acknowledged the events that unfolded, but claimed to have been unaware that her actions were wrong.

She told the court last year: “The dog is not even my dog. The cuffs are not even my cuffs.

“I didn’t even know the cuffs were illegal or anything was wrong with it. My uncle told me it was OK.

“I never meant any harm, I really didn’t.”

Thankfully, the boy made a full recovery and is now in the care of a legal guardian alongside his sister.

The two other defendants, Michalski Jr. and Taylor Marvin-Brown, have also been convicted and are awaiting sentencing later this month.

Williams will serve her sentence at the Ohio Reformatory for Women.
