Print this story ERIN MATHEWS A former Salina child care provider told the court Friday her arrest made her realize she needed to change her life, and she has apologized to the families of the children she cared for while using illegal drugs. Lisa Maas-Bogart, 33, 856 Pontiac, said she has successfully completed drug treatment and she has begun a new career working in a machine shop. “I have changed my life since this happened,” Maas-Bogart told Saline County District Court Judge Jerome Hellmer at her sentencing hearing. “It’s up to me to make a better example for my children.” Hellmer told Maas-Bogart he was impressed with her efforts to make amends with the families of the nine children she once cared for. Maas-Bogart received a 13-month prison sentence for one felony count of possession of methamphetamine. She received a 12-month sentence for a misdemeanor count of endangering a child. Both sentences were suspended as long as she successfully completes 12 months of probation, including random drug testing. If she fails to meet the terms of her probation, she will serve both sentences, or 25 months in prison. She also was assessed a $100 child advocacy fee, $400 for Kansas Bureau of Investigations lab testing, $163 in court costs and a $50 probation fee. Maas-Bogart was arrested in July 2007 after a Salina-Saline County Health Department inspector found drug paraphernalia in her garage. |
