COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A 21-year-old Columbus mother convicted of child abuse has been sentenced to 60 days in jail.

A Platte County judge sentenced Jodie Shelly on Friday.

Shelly pleaded no contest earlier this summer to two counts of misdemeanor negligent child abuse. Prosecutors had lowered the charges from felonies in exchange for her pleas.

Shelly’s boyfriend, 24-year-old Ryan Roberts, was sentenced in May to five years on two counts of child abuse. Roberts acknowledged backhanding Shelly’s 1-year-old son after the boy bit him in January.

A court document says Shelly acknowledged having an anger problem and that she had handled her 3-year-old daughter too roughly at times.
