In Northern Georgia, Davida Kaye Caylor has been convicted of making false statements to a law enforcement officer because her son posted a photo to her facebook wall of his bruised and swollen hand that has been deemed a fake. During the trial, the arresting officer testified that Caylor did not give the photo to the officer and that Caylor was never questioned about the photo. Instead, he was shown the photo by the school nurse who also reported examining the boy's swollen (but not necessarily bruised) hand within an hour of the injury.

Caylor's sentence is 100 hours of community service, $1.5K in fines, 3 years probation and a permanent criminal record.

    A mother who knows the bruise was made by an assistant principal (while at the school no less).
