No Charges For Dwight Howard in Child Abuse Case

Last year Royce Reed filed a child abuse complaint against Houston Rocket Dwight Howard claiming he beat their six-year-old son Braylon with a belt buckle [click here if you missed that]. 

The case has now been closed…

Dwight's attorney tells TMZ the case has been fully investigated and closed, calling the allegations frivolous. 

Meanwhile Royce's pals tell TMZ Braylon is terrified of his father and that Royce never wanted Dwight arrested she just wanted him to get help and be ordered to take parenting classes.
