Callous or Crazy?
AN American woman has been charged with endangering her child after police say she let her daughter, 13, ride in a cardboard box on top of their van.
Albertville, Alabama, police spokesman Sergeant Jamie Smith said the Alabama woman, Jackie Denise Knott, 37, was arrested on Sunday after police received a call about a minivan on a state highway with a child riding on top, The Huntsville Times reported.
Sgt Smith said the woman told police the box was too big to go inside the van, and that her daughter was inside the box to hold it down.
She said the mother told officers it was safe because she had the box secured to the van with a clothes hanger.
The 13-year-old daughter wasn’t harmed and was turned over to a relative.
A jail worker said the mother had been released on bail on Monday.
