PHOTO: Mother And Her Three Children Take Off Clothes In Public

A woman who stri*ped unclad along with three of her children outside a
high schoolhas blamed the psychotic episode on an adverse reaction to
medication she was taking.
Sara Butler's lawyer said conflicting medications for lupus led the
44-year-old mother to think the world wasending.
On the morning of March 16, Butler drove to Upper Darby High School
with her two adult daughters, Joanne, 23, and Bessie, 22, plus a
14-year-old son.
She had wanted to pick up another child, but the student wasn't
released because – although Butler was the child's biological mother –
shewas not the custodial parent.
During this psychotic episode, Miss Butler thought that basically the
world was coming to an end, so she – caring for her family – decided
to bring all of her children together,' said her attorney Sharmil
McKee.
School district security ordered the family off the property, but they
returned three more times, reports Delco Times. The last came at about
1 p.m., when they arrived in a van and stri*ped between two parked
vehicles in the parking lot.
'In order to please the Lord, Miss Butler felt that she needed to exit
the world in the same manner that Adam and Eve entered the world, and
to do so she needed to beunclad,' said McKee.
'When police got there, they were in a van and locked theirarms in
defiant protest,' said Upper Darby police Superintendent Michael
Chitwood.
'They were chanting, "Jesus is Lord." When we got them back to the
police station we gave them their clothes and the mom refused to put
her clothes on.'
Sara Butler does not have anyunderlying psychological problems and has
never been in trouble with the law before,said McKee. She is currently
seeing a therapist, who has discontinued the medication that triggered
the episode.
McKee said the family had never seen their mother act that way before,
but is now familiar with what a psychoticbreak looks like. All three
women apologized and promised that the episode willnot be repeated.
'I regret what happened that day and it will never happen again,' Sara
Butler said.
Butler and her adult daughterspleaded guilty to indecent exposure and
disorderly conduct, for which they each received one year of probation
and were ordered tostay away from the high school.
Sara Butler also entered an open plea to simple assault and corrupting
the morals of aminor, for which she was given a concurrent
probationary sentence and ordered to pay a $500 fine.
