ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A child welfare official has testified that social workers found no signs of maltreatment when they investigated an Alaska woman accused of punishing her adopted son by putting hot sauce in his mouth.

Virginia Moring, a supervisor in the Office of Children’s Services, testified Friday that the social workers decided not to remove the boy from the home of Jessica Beagley.

The 36-year-old Anchorage woman was charged with child abuse after video aired on an American self-help TV talk show showing her using unconventional methods to punish the 7-year-old.
