Parents force teen daughter into woods over Pop-Tart
Two South Carolina parents were arrested after forcing their 14-year-old daughter to sleep in a tent in the woods because she ate a snack without permission.
James Driggers, 33, and his wife, Crystal Driggers, refused to allow their teen inside their home for two days after she reportedly ate a Pop-Tart without permission, WCSH reported. She was provided a tent, a watch, a whistle, one roll of toilet paper and a flashlight.
The girl was meant to be in the woods for a week, in an area heavily populated with wild hogs, and was there when a thunderstorm hit the area.
The girl’s grandmother called police and took her home Thursday night, but the girl ended up back at her parents’ home and back in the woods the next day.
James and Crystal Driggers were charged Friday with one count of unlawful neglect of a child.
