Trial set for mom whose toddler was found wandering

GALT — A March trial has been scheduled for a Wright County woman whose 2-year-old daughter was found wandering a Galt street barefooted and in pajamas.

Ysabel Ceplecha, 24 of Eagle Grove, pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of neglect or abandonment of a dependent person. Her trial is set to begin March 7.

Authorities say Ceplecha’s little girl was found outside in the rain on Nov. 22. Both the 2-year-old and Ceplecha’s 1-year-old child were taken into protective custody.
