OCALA - Police say a mother of four teenage boys has been charged with neglect after saying she was going "on strike" because she was fed up with them.
Melissa Dean
Ocala police say 43-year-old Melissa Dean told the Department of Children and Families that she went on strike because no one would help her with the boys ages 17, 16, 14 and 13.
Police have gone to Dean's home 12 times since September 2007 due to the boys' misbehavior.
Dean tells the DCF that she thought there would be peace if she gave up her bedroom to one of the children.
She said she supervised them by making frequent calls and bringing meals to the house.
