Alabama Mom Punishes Son by Making Him Walk Home, Then Runs Him Over

An Alabama mother has been charged with child abuse after accidentally running over her 7-year-old son while making him walk home from school as a punishment. The incident occurred when the mother, Sarai Rachel James, stopped her car and made her son get out to walk the rest of the way home as a form of punishment for getting in trouble at school. As the boy walked, James drove beside him, but when he tried to grab the car door, he was pulled under and run over by a rear tire. The boy is in stable condition, and James has been charged with aggravated child abuse.
