Foster mother charged in death of infant left in van

Foster mother charged in death of infant left in van

A Jackson County foster mother has been indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct after an infant in her care died when left in a van, officials said Wednesday.

District Attorney Richard Bridgeman said a grand jury indicted Wendy Osborne, 29, on Monday in connection with the death of Jessica Scovil.

On Sept. 2, Osborne, a state-appointed foster mother, failed to realize she left Jessica in her van, according to a police report. It was a day when temperatures reached 85 degrees. Two hours passed before Osborne checked her burgundy Dodge Caravan.
