Naked family prays outside Philadelphia-area school

Police arrested a woman and her three children after the family members disrobed Friday outside Upper Darby High School near Philadelphia.

A Philadelphia family got detention — and then some — after disrobing in a high school parking lot Friday.

Police arrested Sara Butler, 43, and her children Joanne, 23, Bessie, 22, and a 14-year-old boy after all four stripped in front of Upper Darby High School.

Authorities say the bizarre incident began when Butler showed up at the school about 10 a.m. demanding to see a student.

“Because she has no parental rights, school officials would not release the child and said she couldn’t take the child out of school,” Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood told the Delaware County Daily Times.

After school officials refused to allow the woman into the building, she and her children left, only to return later, shed their clothing and begin to pray before climbing into a van.

The adult family members will be charged with disorderly conduct, open lewdness and defiant trespass, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. The mother also faces charges of corrupting a minor.
