Kassandra Meloy
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — A woman who was convicted earlier this month of child neglect and bail jumping will not get prison time if she completes three years of probation.
Kassandra Meloy, 30, was charged with leaving her two children, ages 3 and 1 home alone while visiting a nightclub back in August of 2020.
Police received a 911 call that the three-year-old boy was hanging out a window and saying he was going to jump. He also said his parents were not home. When police arrived they found beer cans, a smell of marijuana, and a one-year-old child suffering from diaper rash.
Meloy was out on bond at the time of the incident on a case of child abuse from November of 2019. The children were reportedly beaten daily by Meloy’s boyfriend Elton Carter. Meloy had been charged with two counts of child abuse-intentionally causing harm and two counts of child abuse/failure to prevent bodily harm.
All charges in the 2019 case were dismissed as part of a plea deal. Judge Greg Strasser ordered Meloy to have no contact with Carter and to undergo counseling.
