Pa. woman charged for sending lice-infested children to school

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.

School officials told police the problem first arose in early February when Holmes was told that she must take her children to a doctor and treat their lice before they could return to school. Later that month, the children boarded a bus and headed to school, police said. Read more

happpppy headed biiitch wants someone else to raise her kids....whoz ur dada

[wow]

well, i don't agree with the first commentor. and frankly i find it a little heavy handed to arrest a mother for sending her kids to school with lice. i think she should be explained how her descision was inappropriate, but i rembember having combs pulled through my hair when i was young checking for lice and i don't recall any parents being arrested for it.
a little harsh, no?

[OMG]

You have got to be kidding! She was warned several times, the kids were supposedly treated, and sent back anyway! She should think of other people before exposing whole classrooms, or whole schools to her filth!
