Townsend v. State,
2006 OK CR 39 (Okl.Cr., September 21, 2006): Child Neglect: Townsend was apparently a babysitter who failed to seek medical attention for a child she was sitting. At a bench trial, she was convicted of Child Neglect (AFCF) and sentenced to 35 years by the Hon. George Butner in Seminole County. COCA affirmed in this opinion, holding that the statutes criminalizing child neglect apply to persons responsible for the child and this includes babysitters.
