Bedford Co., VA - A Bedford County child abuse case was in court Tuesday. Lynda McKay pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of contributing to the neglect or abuse of a minor.
She had been charged with felony child neglect, after neighbors on Brunmore Court found her toddler wandering outside last November.
Light snow was falling and the boy was in a t-shirt and light pair of pants. Neighbors looked for his family for 20 minutes before calling police.
On Tuesday, a judge sentenced McKay to 12 months, and then suspended all but 20 days to be served on the weekends.
