A Houston school teacher has been charged with child endangerment after allegedly putting her COVID-19-positive son in the trunk of her car to prevent catching the infection from him while taking him to a test center.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Sarah Beam, a teacher at Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, stopped at the Pridgeon Stadium drive-thru COVID-testing center located in northwest Harris County on Jan. 3 and informed the school district director of health services, Bevin Gordon, that her child was in the trunk of the car.
