St. Charles County foster care mom gets suspended sentence for injuries to infant

ST. CHARLES COUNTY • A former St. Charles County foster mother got a suspended 14-year prison sentence Wednesday in a case in which an infant in her care nearly died.
Terri Lynn Cronin, 51, formerly of the 3600 block of Meadowglen Court, originally was charged in April 2012 with two counts of child abuse and two counts of assault. But in a plea deal with prosecutors, she pleaded guilty to two counts of child endangerment.
Circuit Judge Nancy Schneider handed down the sentence, which includes serving five years of probation. In addition, Cronin must pay $1,000 in restitution to the child’s family and cannot provide foster care or day care. She also is prohibited from having unsupervised control of any children under the age of 13 with the exception of her grandchildren.
