Child Neglect Arrest

A woman was arrested on a felony charge Wednesday after deputies say they found two young children she was caring for alone in a park trying to get into a swimming pool.

Amelle Morisma, 33, of Golden Gate was charged with child neglect.


Arrest reports say deputies found the children, ages 2 and 3, around 6 p.m. playing on a backhoe and climbing a fence in an attempt to access the community pool.

Morisma didn’t realize the children were missing shortly after 7:30 p.m., when she called the Sheriff’s Office, reports said.
