A mother of Arkansas, Amber Nicole Thompson, is facing several charges including endangering the welfare of a minor after reportedly forcing her son, 7, to walk over seven miles to school due to him missing his school bus, per PEOPLE.
Thompson was apprehended on April 2 after the minor child was discovered walking on the road, officials revealed in an affidavit. The mother informed officials it wasn’t “her problem” that the minor had to
“walk to school.”
According to the affidavit, she reportedly claimed that her son was capable of waking up on his own for school.
According to the police affidavit, the boy informed a deputy that Thompson had sent him to bed hungry as a punishment for misbehaving the previous night.
When officials went to the boy’s home, they discovered his mother sleeping and two other children in her care, per the affidavit.
