The story is appalling. A American 61-year-old teacher and mother, is accused of “endangerment of childrenafter tying her son to her car with his seatbelt and dragging him on a highway of Wichita County. According to the American media, she would have committed this gesture to punish him for having insulted her and for having refused to apologize.

The facts took place on May 2. The Archer County Sheriff received a witness call telling him about this unlikely scene. After being arrested by a sheriff’s deputy, the teacher, originally from Texas, initially denied the facts and evoked a “altercation verbale“. She was then allowed to leave. But after viewing footage sent in by witnesses, the sheriff again called for his arrest.

According Yahoo News , the videos show the boy outside the car with a seatbelt wrapped around him. He is forced to run alongside the car as his mother successively speeds up and brakes. The boy struggles to hang on.

The teacher was arrested and then imprisoned. She was later released after posting $100,000 bail. His son was separated from his family and placed on the grounds of “imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury».
