Teacher Sarah Beam received support from many, including former students, after she was arrested on suspicion of endangering a child. Last week, Beam drove to Houston’s Pridgeon Stadium where people can get tested for Covid without getting out of their car.
She told the site manager that she was there for her son, who had tested positive for Covid before, and explained that she had put him in the trunk of her car so as not to risk being infected herself.
The site worker asked to see the teenager and then told Beam that no test could be done until he was in the back seat of the vehicle. She then alerted the police, who verified her story with surveillance cameras.
Last Saturday, Beam was arrested on suspicion of endangering a child. She was released the next day on $1,500 bail.
On Monday, her former students came to her house to defend her, putting up messages of support.
Beam is currently “on administrative leave,” her school announced.
Court officials have not yet announced when her case will be heard.
