A bond reduction was denied today for a mother charged in connection with the death of her 19-month-old son.
Katheryn Nycole Dale appeared Thursday in Harvey County District Court before Judge Joe Dickinson.
Her attorney Gregory Barker told the judge Dale had no money and would be unable to make the $50,000 bond that had been set in her case. Barker asked the judge to release Dale on her own recognizance with electronic monitoring.
A child-in-need-of-care case is pending in Harvey County court regarding Dale’s infant child, who was placed in protective custody after her older son, Vincent Hill, died while in the care of her boyfriend.
Barker said the case was a significant tie for Dale in the community.
Harvey County Attorney David Yoder objected to the bail reduction.
He said Dale had been on suicide watch in the Harvey County Detention Center until recently.
He said he also wanted the court to hear arguments during the preliminary hearing in the case before making any decisions on bond.
Dale is charged with aggravated battery, abuse of a child and two counts of aggravated endangering a child.
The counts allege Dale pushed a fork into her son’s mouth, causing cuts inside his mouth.
Other counts stem from the child’s death on March 25 when the child was left alone with Dale’s boyfriend, Chad Carr.
Dale’s preliminary hearing was continued to 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Carr’s preliminary hearing was continued to 9 a.m. May 14.
Carr is charged with two counts of aggravated battery and two counts of abuse of a child.
