Complaints to the court allege that Neuhaus placed her 4 year old and 2 year old children on an inside window sill in a second story apartment and opened the window so the children could look outside and then began cooking food when she saw the two year old push out the screen out and fall out the window. The Class D Felony charge is due to the 2 year old sustaining bodily injury and the Aggravated Misdemeanor charge is for placing the 4 year old at substantial risk by her actions.
