Bail granted to Meadow Lake woman in child neglect case
A 30-year-old Meadow Lake woman, co-accused in a neglect case involving five children, has been granted bail on an undertaking with several conditions.
In Meadow Lake provincial court on Monday, Judge Miguel Martinez heard from Crown prosecutor Andrew Clements and defence lawyer Rosanne Newman on the matter.
A 35-year-old male and the woman are accused of neglecting five children after an investigation which began in July 2016. The children were removed from the residence at that time and have not been in the care of the two adults since then. Following an extensive investigation that involved many interviews and analysis of evidence, the pair was charged by Meadow Lake RCMP on Dec. 1, 2017, and arrested in Saskatoon on Dec. 6.
Both are charged with five counts of failure to provide necessaries of life, five counts of forcible confinement, and two counts of assault causing bodily harm. The male is also charged with one count of aggravated assault.
