A Jamestown woman was charged early Wednesday after she was allegedly caught teaching a 20-month-old child to swear.
Around 2 a.m., Jamestown police were called to 15 Stowe Street for a noise complaint. As officers approached the house, they allegedly heard a female inside, 23-year-old Cora J. Douglas, repeatedly yelling a "vulgar phrase."
After a brief investigation, they learned that Douglas was allegedly attempting to teach the small child an obscenity.
She was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and taken to the city jail where she was held in lieu of $600 bail. At arraignment in Jamestown City Court, the judge released her under the supervision of the Chautauqua County Probation department.
She is scheduled to return to court on Dec. 8 for a pre-trial conference.
