Sharon Marley, Daughter of the Late Bob Marley, Arrested & Charged with Child Abuse Against Autistic Boy in Jamaica

SHAME: Sharon Marley, daughter of the legendary Bob Marley, had her bail extended during her appearance in a Jamaican family court to answer charges of child cruelty Tuesday morning.

According to the Jamaica Observer, Ms. Marley was arrested and charged after the mother of a six year old autistic boy, who attends a learning center she operates, accused her of being physically abusive to her child.

The child was reportedly playing with a toy when Marley allegedly carried him inside a room. Shortly after the child was heard screaming. It is also alleged that the child had bruises and bite marks.

The boy, who is autistic, is the son of a woman who works at the learning centre which is located at Lady Musgrave Road. Marley was ordered to return to court on November 8. Source

Well, I hope the allegations are false and I will reserve judgment until the case has been tried and a verdict handed down. No matter how you look at this, it is a downright shame that this child was allegedly bitten and bruised.
