An Ohio social worker who was accused of sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy in her care showed up with a gun at the child’s home — where she blamed the family for “ruining her life” and allegedly threatened to kill the teen’s mom and herself.
Payton Shires, 24, of Mount Sterling, was charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor on Oct. 6 after she allegedly admitted to the disturbing behavior during a call with the boy’s mom and Columbus detectives.
But Shires landed in more trouble about 5:30 p.m. Thursday when she showed up at the teen’s home with a gun, WBNS reported. His mother was away but noticed the young woman on the porch via her doorbell camera, according to the station.
Responding officers found Shires sitting with a gun pointed at her head and with a finger on the trigger — yelling that she was going to kill herself, the outlet reported, citing court records.
The boy’s mom reportedly told investigators that Shires called her and told her she wanted to kill her, then take her own life because she and her son had ruined her life.
