SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) -- A mother, who pleaded guilty to child abuse, will not be going to prison.

Monday, a federal judge sentenced Taleeya Bird Horse to three years of probation.

According to court documents, she and Leslie Bobtail Bear had a baby who required special care, including a feeding tube.

The couple admits skipping appointments with specialists, not feeding her properly and putting off medical care when their daughter developed a rash and open sores.

Bobtail Bear is serving a 9-month sentence for child abuse.
