Episode Details

A Wake County woman has pleaded guilty to four counts of negligent child abuse after allegedly locking her teenager in a dog cage and inflicting serious bodily harm — charges that could lead to prison time. In exchange, two other counts were dropped. She’s held on $2 million bail with sentencing postponed. The case involves multiple children and reveals a pattern of neglect tied to an abusive ex-partner, Lacy Hocutt Jr., who faces separate sexual abuse charges and is still awaiting trial. Galasso has agreed to testify against him if needed, exposing the chilling intersection of domestic violence and child endangerment.
