Woman accused of killing son worked in Child Welfare
APPLETON, Wis. — An official says a Neenah woman accused of killing her 2-year-old son has been a part-time worker with Winnebago County’s Child Welfare Division.
Police say the 27-year-old woman suffocated the child and told investigators she had heard voices telling her to kill the boy.
The Post-Crescent of Appleton filed an open records request for details on her employment, and County Executive Mark Harris released her job description Friday. It shows she worked part-time as a support specialist in juvenile intake.
She now is considered on leave from the job.
Prosecutors expect to file charges Monday.
