According to police, Beeman allegedly recorded the incident on her cell phone. Investigators say the boy's father later found the video when Beeman left her phone in his vehicle.

"It appears she's whispering to the child, most likely giving him instructions," Tpr. Stephen Limani, of Pennsylvania State Police, said last month.

Investigators say Beeman's motivation for the alleged incident was out of spite to frame a one-time romantic rival.

CYS was making sure the child was getting proper counseling.
