SPRING, Texas – A 41-year-old Spring mom has been charged with child abandonment after her 11-year-old son allegedly choked and drowned their neighbor’s dog.
“He needs help,” admitted Desiree Gillard, the boy’s mother.

She immediately called authorities.
Deputies arrived to find the boy home alone. The boy said his mom had been gone since earlier that morning.
