Sentences handed down for child abuse on Pine Ridge Reservation

A child abuse case on the Pine Ridge Reservation has resulted in sentences for a woman and her sister as other defendants await action.

Darcel Rae Featherman, who is a citizen of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, was sentenced to three years of probation after pleading guilty to one count of felony child abuse and neglect. She admitted that she left her two daughters in the care of relatives on the reservation, where they were found so malnourished that they weighed far less than children their ages.
