Sidney Woman Arrested on Child Abuse Charge

SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) — A Sidney woman who was ordered to stop providing child care services to anyone but her own children has been arrested on a child abuse charge. Police say 55-year-old Nancy Gipfert was arrested on Tuesday on a warrant regarding an incident that happened last September that resulted in a 2-month old child being hospitalized. Cheyenne County Attorney Paul Schaub had previously forwarded the case to the Nebraska attorney general’s office. Schaub says Gipfert’s bond is set at $75,000. A telephone message left for her attorney, Donald Miller, of Sidney, was not returned on Wednesday. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services issued an emergency order against Gipfert in September 2011. The department did not elaborate on why the order was issued.
