A Kentucky mom is behind bars and facing two first-degree criminal abuse charges against her two children, only 6-months-old and 18-months-old.

Hopkinsville Police say 22-year-old Ashli Cussins was arrested on a warrant after she reportedly failed to provide immunizations, medical care or nutrition to her 6-month-old daughter.

The child was found emaciated and had only gained 6 ounces since birth. Cussins second child an 18-month-old was also found underweight and unable to walk.

Both children were removed from her care and have gained weight and the oldest child is now able to walk.

A Pretrial Diversion is a voluntary program for defendants charged with misdemeanors or criminal violations. When a defendant successfully completes the program, a recommendation is made to the court to dismiss the charges. To participate in the program, a defendant must be approved by the district judge with the consent of the county attorney. The program requires a sliding scale fee based on income using the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Defendants who complete the program receive multiple benefits. They avoid getting a conviction on their record. They also see positive results from helping others and changing their lives through education, training, treatment or counseling. The court system saves costs by reducing the number of court cases. Victims are paid restitution and the community benefits from the volunteer work clients are required to perform.

Just don't let her get the baby back.
