Mom drops off child at school on Saturday, and gets arrested
My sisters tell me stories like this too frequently. The things that parents do, but against which teachers can’t do anything, against which they don’t have any recourse… it’s scary.
Mom jailed after dropping child off at school
– reported by KHOU CBS Channel 11
A 27-year-old League City woman who police said confused the weekend with a weekday and dropped her 6-year-old off at school was arrested Saturday.
Lt. Bruce Whitten of the League City police department said police believe the mother thought Saturday was a school day and drove her daughter to Ferguson Elementary that morning. Despite the lack of activity at the school or cars in the parking lot the child was let off at the school, Whitten said.
A few hours later a passer-by saw the child, who was coatless in a chilly drizzle, and called police.
