An Albertville, Alabama woman wrongly assumed that, since her daughter was removed safely from her box once, she’d be unharmed after a second attempt.

Jackie Denise Knott, 37, was arrested for having her 13-year-old daughter ride in a cardboard box atop her van.  Police said Knott was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

Police received a call Sunday morning of a minivan traveling on U.S. 431 with a large cardboard box on top with a child inside.  Officers stopped the van on U.S. 431 and asked Knott why the child was riding atop her vehicle.

“The box was too big to go inside the van, and she would be able to hold it down if she was inside the box,” Knott told police.  “Also, I saw them do it in ‘Teen Wolf’ and my daughter is about the same size as Michael J. Fox.”

Knott told the officers that she had the box secured to the van with a clothes hanger.

The child was turned over to a relative who will only allow her to ride on top of a car in a box once it’s been secured with duct tape.
