YOUNGSTOWN -- A 62-year-old South Side woman suffered bruises to her wrists after her son tied her to her bed rails with a sheet, police reports say.
Police were called to the Boardman Community Care Center, where a social worker reported that the woman had likely been injured while at the Labelle Avenue residence where she stays with her daughter-in-law.
Her son does not live there but came to the house, was angry, told her he did not want her staying there and tied her wrists to the bed rails, police reports show. The daughter-in-law called for an ambulance and the son untied the woman before they arrived.
