The mother of the Georgia school shooting suspect has been charged with the abuse of her elderly mother after she allegedly taped her to a chair for almost a day. Marcee Gray, 43, was charged with exploiting an elderly person,

Marcee Gray, 43, allegedly restrained her then-73-year-old mother in November and stole her phone so she couldn’t call for help.

The mistreatment took place on November 3, after Marcee insisted that Polhamus join her in confronting her ex, Colin Gray, during a heated altercation, according to authorities.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation also arrested the teen's father, Colin Gray, on Sept. 5, and prosecutors have charged him with two counts of murder, four counts of involuntary manslaughter and eight counts of child cruelty.

The indictment handed down Monday charges Marcee Gray, 43, with exploiting an elderly person and other crimes in Ben Hill County, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. It appears unrelated to the school shootings at Apalachee High School, which occurred in a different Georgia county nearly 200 miles (320 kilometers) away.

The mother of the accused gunman in the mass shooting at Apalachee High School this month has been arrested on charges of elder abuse stemming from an incident in 2023, when she is said to have taped her mother to a chair,

Gray previously said she called her son's high school the morning of the shootings to warn staff of an “extreme emergency” involving her son.
