WARREN, Pa. The Warren woman charged in connection with the drowning death of her 2-year-old child in Hatch Run last August has pleaded guilty to felony child endangerment.
Nichol V. Barrett, 25, 3435 Conewango Ave. entered the plea before President Judge Maureen Skerda on Thursday at the Warren County Courthouse.
Barrett and her husband, Richard, were both charged with three felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child in October.
District Attorney Rob Greene said that the child is “deceased due to the criminal act.”
He said Barrett has “suffered” as a result of the “horrible event” but “should still pay the price.”
