kid's author guilty

Florida

Children's book author Jennifer Wolfthal and her husband, parents of three children, were each sentenced to more than a decade in prison after pleading guilty to three counts of child abuse and three counts of child neglect each earlier this week.

​They were originally arrested in 2021 after the 8-year-old was hospitalized. Records show that the girl weighed 40 pounds and had multiple organ failure, sepsis, a staph infection, black eyes, open wounds and scabs, pneumonia, and malnutrition.
