The teen said Strothers pulled the car over and “began to hit her,” striking her three or four times with an open and closed fist, the report states. The Hopkinton Police officer who spoke to the girl said the teen told him she’d been riding in a car earlier with her mother - Strothers - and they had begun to argue, according to the report. The police report has the name of the teenager redacted, but it does say the girl is a daughter of Strothers. The Hopkinton police report for Strothers’ charge outlines an allegation dated March 6, 2020, when a worker at a local restaurant called the cops and said a teenager had been hit by her mother. This has led to national headlines and accusations. Strothers’ 16-year-old daughter, Mikayla Miller, died last month, and police told the family the girl committed suicide. That child was temporarily taken into custody by the state Department of Children and Families last year, according to court documents. The Hopkinton mother accusing the DA’s office of misconduct faces a July hearing on an open domestic violence case in Framingham District Court, where she’s charged with assaulting one of her children.Ĭalvina Strothers, 41, faces a charge of assault and battery on a family member in Framingham District Court, records examined by the Herald show.
