Former day care workers get probation in child injury case

DES MOINES — A mother and daughter whose neglect led to a child in their care being injured have been sentenced to two years’ probation.

Cindy Hold and Amanda Holt will not be allowed to operate a child care center, nor be allowed to have contact with children under 18 to whom they are not related.

Last month, Cindy Holt pleaded guilty to child endangerment causing injury, a felony. Her daughter, Amanda, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor child endangerment count.
