CHARLESTOWN, N.H. (AP) – The owner of a Charlestown day-care center is not contesting charges that she hit three children with a leather belt this summer.
Bonnie Rumrill, who owns Mountain View Day Care, was found guilty and sentenced Monday. In a sentencing agreement, she must write a letters of apology to the children, take an anger management class and comply with orders from the state.
The charges were based on allegations by Charlestown resident Abby Tenney that Rumrill struck Tenney’s three children, ages 10, 8, and 6 on the bottom with a belt after the youngest child urinated in different parts of the bathroom.
Her children told her Rumrill struck them several times, and believe Rumrill lied in court when she said she only hit them once.
