Judge to day care worker: Say you're sorry

Tuesday, 12 May 2009 18:00

The former lead day-care worker at a Sun Prairie, Wisconsin day care center has been given probation for squeezing an 18-month old until she stopped breathing, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

Dane County Circuit Judge Patrick Fiedler gave Sara Kladenhall 5 years to "prove... she was sincere when she said she was sorry for what happened," reports the paper.

The child was revived by a co-worker and has since recovered.

Co-worker Lindsay Anderson, charged with child neglect for helping to hold the child down, was placed in a first offenders program.

The State Journal says that following that sentencing, Anderson was charged with domestic disorderly conduct in another case and dropped from the first offenders program.

On May 7, she pleaded guilty to the disorderly conduct charges and was placed, again, in the first offenders program. For a second time.
