IDAHO FALLS A local woman will spend 30 days on house arrest and a decade on probation after pleading guilty to contributing to the death of a toddler she babysat.
On Thursday, District Judge John Shindurling sentenced Angie Kay Young, 49, after she pleaded guilty to felony involuntary manslaughter. Shindurling opted to withhold judgment in the case, meaning that if Young is successful on probation, the conviction could be removed from her record.
Back on May 1, Young called 911 after finding the 23-month-old boy she was caring for unresponsive. The child was pinned between a card table and Pack-ân-Play. By the time police arrived, the child was already taken from the house by Emergency Medical Services.
