- Tenn. woman convicted of child neglect after exposing children to known abuser
A Tennessee woman was convicted of aggravated child neglect and child neglect after prosecutors alleged she knowingly exposed children in her care to a man who had previously sexually abused a child. Evidence showed she witnessed the abuse in 2006, failed to report it, and later allowed the abuser to supervise children during sleepovers, leading to further abuse in 2022.
