Woman arrested for 'punishment' potion A Brooks woman has been arrested for cruelty to children after forcing a child to drink a rather odd concoction as punishment. Allison Dawn McWilliams, 34, would force the victim to drink a mixture that included vinegar, hot sauce and pepper sauce and an unknown ingredient, according to the warrant for her arrest. The potion, which was known as "witches brew" would cause the victim to regurgitate, the warrant said. The victim was "physically punished to the point the child is terrified to go home from school," the warrant added. A $15,000 bond was set for McWilliams, and a condition of that bond is that she have no contact with the victim. John Munford   What do you think of this story?
