A former social worker in Ohio is facing disturbing allegations after being accused of engaging in sexual activity with a 13-year-old boy, reports Radar Online. The woman took her actions to a new extreme by showing up at the victim’s house with a gun and threatening to kill both the child’s mother and herself. 

The accused, 24-year-old Payton Shires, had been assigned to provide mental health counseling to the teenager. However, Shires was providing more than just counseling, admittedly having sex

“multiple times”

with the 13-year-old. She was arrested and charged with sexual conduct with a minor. 

Payton was released on a $50,000 bond. However, she wasted no time violating the conditions of her release by visiting the victim’s home. When police arrived, they found Shires sitting on the porch with a gun pointed at her head. Court documents revealed that she expressed her desire to kill the mother and herself,

“because she and the victim ruined her life and took everything from her.” 

Although the victim’s mother wasn’t present during the incident, she spotted Shires on her doorbell camera and immediately alerted the authorities. Shires now faces additional charges and is being held in jail. Her bond has been increased to $100,000.
