A 28-year-old mother in Ohio is accused of severely abusing her two young children, allegedly binding their hands and shoving each of them down a flight of stairs, telling authorities she considered it "normal discipline".

Daisha Phillips was taken into custody on Monday and charged with two counts of endangering children, court records show.

Phillips and her two children — a 4-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl — live in Winton Hills, Ohio, about 100 miles southwest of Columbus. According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime, the alleged abuse of Phillips' son took place "on or about" Monday, Aug. 18, at the residence located in the 5200 block of Vivian Place.
