‘I’ll hurt you’: Mom hides recording device in nonverbal son’s clothing to catch alleged abuse, but cops end up arresting her

A concerned mother who allegedly hid a recording device inside her nonverbal seven-year-old son’s clothing has reportedly been charged. Skye Cooper, who lives in Victoria, Australia, believed that her son was being abused by staff at the school he was attending and launched her own investigation to catch the perpetrator.

Cooper decided to sew the recording device into her son’s clothes after he came home from school with what she thought were bruises on his arms.
