United States Lawyer Susan Lehr declared that Danielle Cleary, age 29, of Vermont, but as of late living in Pender, Nebraska, on the Omaha Country Indian Reservation, was sentenced December 19, 2024, in government court in Omaha, Nebraska for child mishandle. Joined together States Locale Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Cleary to 33 months’ detainment. There is no parole in the government framework. After Cleary’s discharge from jail, she will start a 1-year term of directed release.

On January 11, 2023, Cleary struck a 3-year-old minor child in the head with a huge toy causing extreme head injury to the child. The minor child was life-flighted from the healing center in Pender to Children’s Nebraska in Omaha, where he was treated for his life-threatening wounds. The minor child eventually recuperated and was discharged from the healing center a month afterward. Cleary at first denied causing the minor child’s damage, but afterward conceded to striking the child in the head arguing blameworthy to careless child manhandle coming about in genuine substantial injury.

This case was arraigned in government court since the casualty was Local American (or Indian) and Cleary is not an Indian, and the offense happened on a Local American Reservation giving rise to government jurisdiction.

This case was examined by the Government Bureau of Examination.
