Reportedly, Royce Reed has turned herself in to the police in Orange County, Florida. She has been charged with neglect of a child and a third-degree felony.
Documents acquired by Radar Online say that the case is about her 14-year-old son Braylon, whom she shares with NBA star Dwight Howard. The documents mentioned that Braylon is now working through issues with professionals over past incidents.
One major rule set by the judge is him not being allowed to hang out with kids two years younger than him without the presence of an adult. The rule was reportedly violated, and Reed is the reason behind it.
Braylon was asked by the police about when he last saw Howard. He replied that when his father was in town for a basketball game, sometime during the 2020 quarantine.
Reed had reportedly gone to child services in Orlando, Florida, in 2014 to complain about how Dwight physically abused their son with a belt, leaving bruises on his leg.
Howard even confessed that he had hit his son but claimed that there was nothing wrong as that's how he was disciplined. The case was dropped, and no charges were filed against Dwight.

Royce Reed reacts after being released from jail
A day after turning herself in to the police on child neglect charges, she spoke up about the whole situation through Instagram on March 11. She wrote:
"I shouldn't even have to deal with or address this. 1. I did not get arrested. I turned myself in because I had to. 2. Talk to my attorney. As for the picture, I was scared as s**t and was crying like a baby the whole time. I'm not 'bout that life' but I did it and we're gonna get through this."
