A Texas mom Jennifer Marie Vargas, 34, nearly pulled off her 6-year-old son's privates in a rage before trying to glue them back on, police said.
The incident happened at their home on the San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston military base in San Antonio on Sept. 27.
She reportedly used alcohol to clean the wound before trying to fix him up with the industrial adhesive.
When the bleeding stopped, she then allegedly stuffed his underwear with paper towels before sending him to bed without seeking any medical treatment.
Civilian Vargas' husband, who works at the base for the Army, returned home to find his son crying in his bedroom.
Spotting the bloody tissue in his underwear, he took him to the San Antonio Military Medical Center.
An investigation was launched, and on Wednesday Vargas was arrested and charged with assault within maritime and territorial jurisdiction resulting in serious bodily injury.
She remains in custody pending a bail hearing on Monday.
If convicted, she faces up to 10 years in prison, reports the Houston Chronicle.
