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.
