Natasha Nicole Garrett, 38 of Rome, was arrested this week after reports said she allowed her 14 year-old son to miss over 70 days of school this year.
Police said that Garrett was given a truancy letter after her son missed 73 unexcused days of school.
However, after signing the truancy treatment letter, the child continued to miss numerous days of school. Garrett had told the school that she was going to put him into a homeschool program but she never did so.
Garrett is charged with the mandatory education of children.
