According to the local newspaper, the lawyer for Sara Butler says that contradictory medicines for lupus caused the mother to believe that the world was ending.  Butler drove to Upper Darby High School in March with two adult sons and a teenage son. She wanted to pick up another child, but the student was not released to her because Butler was not the custodial parent.  Police say that the family members then shed their clothes in the parking lot and chanted religious phrases. Butler and her adult daughters pleaded guilty Monday to indecent exposure and related charges. All were released on probation.
