A Seattle mother is accused of fatally beating her 14-year-old son with an extension cord after he failed to complete his chores. She reportedly told police she "went too far" while spanking him. The mother called 911 after her son became unresponsive during the incident. According to police, she continued to strike him for about an hour, even after he fell to the floor. She did not appear in court for a bail hearing, where her attorney argued for her release due to trauma from her son's death. Prosecutors requested a $3 million bail, and she is expected to be formally charged soon.
