WHITEHALL, Ohio (WCMH) – A woman accused of fatally abusing her nine-month-old daughter pleaded guilty on two of seven charges Thursday.
According to Franklin County Court of Common Pleas documents, 21-year-old Charity Dreyer, arrested in September after the death of her infant child, has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and endangering children.

A warrant was issued after hospital personnel issued a statement about the child’s injuries. Kelso said that while the report did not initially contain information on the 9-month-old, additional charges were anticipated.
