Has any article revealed the age of the juvenile? TIA Part of me wants to say "what is wrong with people?" And another part of me feels for parents. I'm not excusing her chosen form of punishment. But it seems that more and more dedicated parents (she may or may not be) are just at their wit's end. Crime is soaring, inflation is rocketing, utilities and taxes are ridiculous, basic necessities are edging toward being out of reach, and social media continues to be a toxic soup, especially for children. Jails are bursting at the seams. I assume it's similar for juvenile facilities. What options for significant help do parents have? Social services and the mental health system are not nearly enough to cover the need. And it seems with astounding immigration rates, the need and the inability to meet it, will worsen before it gets better. I hope this mother and son both get the help that they need.

The Archer County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a witness that morning that a woman was dragging a child out of the back seat of a vehicle on the side of Highway 79 south of FM 1954.

The witness said the boy was tied to the seat belt.

A deputy was sent to check on the report and located Stade’s vehicle. He said he questioned her, and she told him the child had called her a name while she was driving and she had stopped and waited for him to apologize and nothing else had happened.

The deputy suggested to the boy he should apologize and cleared the call with dispatch.

Sheriff Jack Curd then contacted the deputy and said he had received a text from a passerby with a video of the incident and told the deputy to stop her again and ask if she had tied the child to the vehicle with the seatbelt and drove with the child running outside the car.

The deputy caught up to her again and made another stop and said Stade told him the boy would not get out of the road, and she had to do something to control him.

The deputy took down the information and again cleared the call.
