Bismarck woman gets 30 days for child abuse

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck woman whose home was described by police officers as having the worst living conditions they had seen has been sentenced on two counts of child abuse or neglect.

Sharee Hanson was sentenced to serve one month in jail. She will be on three years of supervised probation following her release.

Hanson's husband, Dwayne Hanson, previously pleaded guilty to three counts of child abuse or neglect, including one count that said he struck the couple's 9-year-old daughter. He was sentenced to serve two months in prison on the count involving the assault, and six months in prison on the other two counts, with three years of supervised probation.

Officers who went to the couple's home last November said they found garbage, clothing, food, dirty diapers and other rubbish throughout the residence.
