White was sentenced to 10 years in prison on the charge of neglect or abandonment, and five years each, to be served concurrently, on the charges of child endangerment with bodily injury, for a total of 15 years imprisonment.
Reisdorfer pleaded guilty to felony-level child endangerment resulting in bodily injury and was sentenced to five years probation. She will also be required to pay a fine of $1,025, plus surcharge, court costs and court-appointed attorney's fees.
