Ohio mom lashes out at social worker who 'groomed,' raped 13-year-old son

The regret-ridden mother of a 13-year-old boy who was groomed and raped by his adult female social worker wishes she never let the predator in her home.

In a statement read in court Thursday, the unidentified mother told Payton Shires, of Ohio, that the abuse has devastated her son and negated any faith she had in the nation's social services, the Columbus Dispatch reported.

"Instead, he was manipulated, groomed and sexually abused by Ms. Shires," the statement read, according to the local newspaper.
