A Texas mom is being accused of killing her 3 year old son, while playing the game “Chicken” with her kids.
Lexus Stagg, 26, originally told authorities that she ran over a speed bump, but surveillance showed what was actually happening during the time of the incident.
CNN Reports:
Lexus Stagg, 26, was seen in surveillance footage from her Harris County, Texas, apartment driving toward her three children as they ran toward the front of her 2006 Lincoln Navigator, according to a news release from Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg.
Two of the children moved out of the vehicle’s path, but Stagg’s 3-year-old was struck, Ogg’s office said in the release. The child was first caught under the SUV’s right tire, the release said. Stagg didn’t stop right away and the toddler was hit again by the rear tire of the vehicle — which weighs about 5,600 pounds, according to the release.
This is such an unfortunate event that could have been prevented. It is never okay to play with an automobile, especially when there are children involved. Let’s pray that the other children will be in the care of responsible adults that will comfort them in their time of need.
