Where is the assault 2nd
Where is the assault 2nd and/or criminal diversion of a prescription 4th charges. I think to cause a child to lose consciousness is serious physical damage. Ms. Bater was only charged with a misd, no felonies. I think she got off pretty light.
"another Batavia news source"
"another Batavia news source" reports the child was her daughter!
I agree with David, sounds like she is getting off easy!

I'll never Understand a
I'll never Understand a mother, that would harm her child...yet no charges, the child wasn't taken from her?...so many more parent's out there like this to. It's a shame,that any parent would want to give a child any type of drugs. When, will they be held accountable??...When, a child is dead?
I'm certainly not defending
I'm certainly not defending Bater but does anyone realize Clonidine is suggested for adhd and is often used in combination with other scripts to manage adhd? Her daughter was on Ritalin? Does that mean she was adhd idk? But We're still not informed why she would replace the med for the other, and hopefully this opens eyes to anyone with a child that may have been prescribed that?! Again not defending her actions she obviously makes poor decisions in life, esp after being arrested for stealing from a neighbor that doesn't help the situation at all.
Clonidine is also used in
