The incident of abuse against 2-year-old Declan came to light in the night on October 26 as the baby's father Max and step-mom Laura saw Rowe shoving food into their baby's mouth while caring for him at their home in New Bern. In the video, Declan can be seen screaming for help while kicking his legs as Rowe held his wrists behind his high chair. She then stuffed spoons of chicken pot pie into his mouth and held his mouth shut while he cried for his "Daddy" repeatedly. The footage was shared on Facebook and the cops were notified about this incident.
Rowe is now in custody and she's been charged with misdemeanor child abuse. "We are all emotionally drained by this whole experience," Laura wrote on Facebook. "Our main goal now is to make sure this sticks to her like glue so she can’t ever do this sort of thing to a child, dog, or person in general ever again," she added. The couple revealed they had to make a tough decision of hiring a nanny for a couple of days as they got busy renovating their bar in Washington, North Carolina which was an hour from their home. While working on their bar, the couple stopped to check nanny cam where they made the horrific discovery and began recording their child's ordeal.
Rowe was released after posting a $2,500 secured bond which was posted just 30 minutes after her arrest. She has two upcoming appearances to make at the court, one on November 19 for speeding, a revoked registration tag and reckless driving, and another on December 2 for driving a car without valid registration.
