surveillance video
Stagg can be seen on surveillance video reversing a white Lincoln Navigator in an apartment complex parking lot as her three small children run toward the vehicle, prosecutors said. When the kids are just feet from the SUV, it moves forward, trapping the 3-year-old under the right front tire.
Authorities said Stagg continued to drive forward and ran the boy over again with the right rear tire of the SUV, which weighs approximately 5,600 pounds.
Evidence and Investigations
Court documents state the boy was caught under the right tire but she continued to drive forward, running him over again.
The three-year-old was rushed to hospital where he died.
District Attorney Kim Ogg said: ‘Every parent has an obligation to protect their children, even from themselves.
‘Car’s aren’t toys and playing chicken with your kids isn’t a game.’
