Woman Pleads Guilty To Child Abuse

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) ― A woman accused of exposing her barefoot daughters to subzero temperatures in Grand Forks has pleaded guilty to two counts of abuse or neglect of a child.

Authorities say 22-year-old Breanna Prather, of East Grand Forks, Minn., was drunk on Feb. 26 when she dragged her 5-year-old through the snow and carried her 2-year-old under her arm. The complaint says the air temperature was 13 degrees below zero and the wind chill was 37 below.

Sentencing is set for Aug. 5. She faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
