45-year-old Jennifer Lynn Rossi, from Texas, was arrested earlier this week after a drink she made for her 10-year-old son’s bully sent him to the hospital, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, the law enforcement agency responsible for Bexar County, Texas. The vengeful mom reportedly mixed lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and Gatorade in a sports bottle on Tuesday (March 5) and told her son to give it to a classmate who had stolen his drink the day before at Legacy Traditional School located in Alamo Ranch, approximately 20 miles northwest of downtown San Antonio, Texas, according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by ABC News.

Nevertheless, Rossi was arrested and booked into jail where she was charged with injury to a child causing bodily injury, ABC News reported.
