HOUSTON, TX – A Cypress Falls High School Teacher, Sarah Beam is being charged for child endangerment after police found that she had locked her child in her car trunk because her 14-year-old was sick with COVID. Beam quarantined her child in the trunk of her car as she went to get tested.
“CFPD was alerted that a child was in the trunk of a car at a drive-thru COVID-19 testing site earlier this week. Law enforcement conducted a full investigation, resulting in a warrant for arrest. Thankfully, the child was not harmed,” the Cypress Falls-Fairbanks ISD said in a statement.
Police say Beam showed up at the Harris County testing center for a COVID-19 test when they heard noise coming from her trunk. Her 14-year-old child was discovered after police asked her to open the trunk.
Beam is now on administrative leave from the high school.
