Judge Sentences South Florida Mom in Child Neglect Case

Judge Sentences South Florida Mom in Child Neglect Case

A 44-year-old Cooper City woman has been sentenced by a Broward County judge after she was accused of passing out drunk in her minivan while her two children wandered about a mile away.

The defendant pleaded no contest to two counts of child neglect, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and one count of DUI. She could have faced up over a decade of jail time, but the judge sentenced her to a year of house arrest.

According to the women’s defense attorney, she has attended a parenting program, substance-abuse counseling, and DUI school since the incident in September 2009.
