A woman who entered a home posing as a CPS worker said she wanted to 'scare' the parents because she felt they weren't supervising their child
- An Ohio woman has been charged with child enticement, burglary, and impersonating an officer.
- Her hand-written affidavit said she was drunk at the time of the incident.
A woman from Norwood, Ohio, was charged Monday with child enticement after parents accused her of pretending to be from Child Protective Services and attempting to lure their child away from home.
In a home surveillance recording posted to Facebook, the woman, identified by police as 44-year-old Lisa Nacrelli, can be seen in the front yard touching the child's back and head. After the child runs inside to bring out his mother, Nacrelli appears to identify herself as a CPS investigator and enters the home.
Child enticement is generally defined as an effort to convince a child to accompany an adult. In Ohio, a first-time violation is a first-degree misdemeanor. Nacrelli could be sentenced to up to six months in jail if convicted.
Tuesday, the Norwood Police Department filed additional charges of burglary and impersonating an officer against Nacrelli, which could add additional time to her sentence if convicted.
In her written affidavit, filed in Hamilton County Municipal Court Saturday, Nacrelli said she had been drinking "since [she] woke up that morning."
"I walked to Kroger to get more beer," the affidavit reads. "on the walk home, I saw a young child that I felt wasn't being supervised, so in an attempt to scare the parent, I pretended to be from CPS."
However, Timothy Spradlin, the boy's father, alleged in his affidavit that Nacrelli was "rubbing" his child and made the four-year-old "uncomfortable."
In an interview with Fox19, Spradlin said Nacrelli had a fake CPS badge, which he said convinced his wife, Jaimie, to let Nacrelli examine their home.
"Please teach your children about stranger danger and to always get an adult," Jaimie Spradlin wrote in her Facebook post about the event. "I was very proud of my son for coming to get me. Too close for comfort."
The Spradlin family, Nacrelli's lawyer, and the Norwood Police Department did not respond to Insider's request for comment.
