Mom arrested for sending lice-infested kids to school
Many of us have probably sent our children off to school when we knew deep down that perhaps they might be a wee bit too sick to attend. We’ve even heard from one friend who admitted to dosing her son with an ample amount of ibuprofen hoping to keep his low grade fever down until the final bell rang. We understand when both parents work, and a loss of a day’s wages means a lot when you’re living paycheck to paycheck, but sometimes you have to suck it up and keep the young ones at home — like, say, WHEN THEY ARE INFESTED WITH LICE.
A woman was charged with endangering her children after she sent them to school with lice, despite being warned that they could not attend class.
Nicole Lynn Holmes, 27, was in jail Wednesday and awaiting a preliminary hearing on Friday. Belle Vernon Area School District in Fayette County contacted police, alleging that Holmes was neglecting her two children, according to court records.
The allegations followed several warnings about the children’s lice infestation.
