Thirty-one-year-old Floridian Melany Alexander was arrested after beating her daughter with a belt and sending her to school wearing a shirt with a handwritten message explaining that Alexander had given her a "good woopin'" because of her bad grades, NBC Miami reports.

According to Bay News 9, a Department of Children and Families employee said that Alexander "was very uncooperative, but later stated she did, in fact, strike [the child] numerous times with a white leather belt because she was failing school."

Though the police were originally called to her daughter's school because the child was found with injuries from her shoulders to her wrists, they also found her wearing the below shirt.

The front of the shirt warns that her daughter is not "aloud [sic] to have a boyfriend. No time soon," and that she can "no longer have any friends until all my F's are all brought up to C's and up!!!" The back warns friends that "unless you are helping me with this goal ... back off!!!"

Alexander is being held without bond while she faces child abuse charges. She is not allowed to make contact with her daughter.
