(WBAP/KLIF) — A Houston mother is facing charges for placing her 13-year-old son in the trunk of her car to isolate him after he tested positive for COVID-19. The 41-year-old teacher then took him to a drive-thru testing site where school district officials found him in the trunk.
The woman is charged with endangering a child after authorities allege her son was found, Monday, in her car’s trunk at a testing site for the Cypress-Fairbanks School District. The woman is a teacher with the school district in Northwest Houston.
She says she put her son in the trunk to prevent her from being exposed to COVID-19 while taking him for additional testing.
