What began as a mother punishing her son left an Alabama woman barred from seeing her child.

On Feb. 9, Sarai Rachel James, 27, picked up her 7-year-old son from a school in Boaz, Alabama.

The principal at the school informed James that the child had gotten in trouble that day, according to the New York Post.

About eight blocks from home, the punishment kicked in. James stopped the car. The boy was told to get out of the car and either walk or run the rest of the way home.

As reported by the Miami Herald, the boy ran some of the way and walked at other times, with his mom either behind him or next to him with her flashers on, according to Police Chief Michael Abercrombie.

A few blocks into the punishment, the car slowed down.

When it did so, the boy reached for a door handle.

“She may not have realized he was doing that,” Abercrombie said, explaining that as James drove off, the boy was pulled under the vehicle.

The boy only suffered cuts on the side of his head and his back, but was taken to the University of Alabama hospital as a precaution.

“God watched over him,” Abercombie said.

“It was a miracle he was not hurt worse than what he could have been,” Abercrombie said, according to AL.com.

James was charged with aggravated child abuse. After three days in jail, she was sprung on a $50,000 bond.

But there is no family reunion planned. Court documents forbid James from having any contact with her son.

A 53-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car was hit with a charge of endangering the welfare of a child and freed on a $500 bond, according to People.

Abercrombie said she was charged because she “didn’t intervene” when James decided on the boy’s punishment.

People reported that the Department of Human Resources now has custody of the boy.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

We can do this 

only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

Thank you for reading,
