A former town of Whitewater woman pleads guilty in a child neglect case in which prosecutors said county officials found an underweight child near bags of fecal matter, medication and cigarette butts in a camper on an abandoned farm.
According to a plea agreement 32-year-old Rachel S. Albright will be sentenced to three years of probation after she pleaded guilty to a single count of felony child neglect.
A judge also sentenced her to 10 days of jail with work release.
A Walworth County Department of Health & Human Services worker visited Albright’s former home in September 2018. The worker found that Albright lived in a camper under farm equipment that was in “various states of dilapidation.”
Albright and her father defecated into bags and left them in an area—which the child could access—to be burned later.
Albright also told the worker she bathed the child in a sandbox using rain water or water from a nearby city pump.
