A Virginia mom is appealing a criminal charge and her placement on the state's child abuse and neglect registry after her 5-year-old son was stopped by security while walking alone through their gated community.
Karyann Parkinson said her son, Sam, had been walking along a familiar neighborhood path past a pond to collect goose feathers when a security guard encountered him and brought him home.
Police and Child Protective Services became involved, and Parkinson, who was eight months pregnant at the time, had her six-month jail sentence suspended, but the charge remains.
Karyann Parkinson appears with some of her children in this family photo provided to Fox News.
She was convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a first-degree misdemeanor, and was also placed on Virginia's Child Abuse and Neglect Central Registry for seven years.
