A Texan who locked her 2-year-old son in the trunk of her car to take him to a SARS-CoV-XNUMX diagnostic center is facing criminal prosecution, but is also receiving support.
Sarah Beam drove to Pritson Stadium in Houston on Monday, January 3rd, where one can take a test without getting out of the car.
She explained to the person in charge that she had gone for her son, who had a positive result in a previous test, but preferred to carry him in the trunk, in order to reduce the risk of her becoming infected.
The facility clerk demanded to see the child and clarified that no examination would take place if the teenager was not sitting in the back seat of the car.
Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Saturday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck. She is accused of endangering a minor.
He was released the next day after posting a $ 1.500 bail.
Yesterday Monday, old students set up banners and placards around her house and left letters of support.
She is a "true superhero without a cape," wrote one, "an incredible teacher, a mother who loves her children, a woman who inspires." "We support you" and "do not judge a book by its cover", others wrote.
The forty-something worked until recently at a high school in Houston. He is currently on "administrative leave".
It was not clear when he would be summoned to court.
