(WSB Radio)  The parents of a 12 year old Oconee County boy are in custody after authorities say they shot him with pellet guns and handcuffed him in a closet for hours.

County Sheriff Scott Berry saus they found out about the abuse after the boy's six year old brother told a teacher what was going on.

"One of the reasons he was punished, he said, was because he took a can of corn for something to eat," Berry tells Channel 2. 

The boy's mother, Damita Peak, reportedly got pepper spray and handcuffs from Walton County, where she was a jailer.  His stepfather, Norris Walker, has also been arrested.

"I don't if he'll have long term physical scars," the sheriff says.  "I'm sure he'll have long term emotional scarring."
