(June 19, 2008)—Former Baylor University senior Christa Licole Dill, 21, who had planned to graduate in August with a degree in child development, was sentenced to two years in prison and fined $10,000 Thursday after pleading guilty to a child abuses charge in an incident involving her godson.
Dill pleaded guilty to injury to a child Wednesday, but decided to have a jury decide punishment.
She was seeking probation, but could have been sentenced to as much as 10 years in prison.
The complaint stemmed from an incident on Nov. 16, 2007 in which she was accused of beating her 2-year-old godson with a belt and with her fist.
CPS said the child suffered no broken bones, but said the beating was as bad as it has seen.

THIS WOMAN HAPPEN TO BE MY SISTER FIRST AND FORMOST. NOW AS WE KNOW THE NEWS IS ALWAYS MAKING STORIES WORST THAN WHAT THEY ARE. SECONDLY YOU CANT JUDGE CHRISTA UNTIL YOU KNOW HER WHICH NONE AND I REPEAT NONE OF YOU DO. THE BABY INVOLVED IS MY NEPHEW AND HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED HE WAS AND STILL IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW HELPING SOMEONE OUT CAN MESS UP YOUR LIFE. NO ONE NEEDS TO BE GIVEN THE WHOLE STORY NOR RESON FOR WHAT SHE DID HOW A SPANKING CAN GO TO TWO YEARS IN JAIL. AND IF YOU DONT WHOOP YOUR KIDS (PEOPLE WHO ARE LEAVING COMMENTS) THATS PROB THE REASON THEY ARE RUNNING OVER YOU. LASTLY CHRISTA DOESNT NEED TO RETAKE NOR CHANGE HER MAJOR FOR YOU SMART PEOPLE OUT THERE GET A LIFE AND STOP JUGDEING OTHERS. BECAUSE UNLESS U KNOW IT OR NOT....THATS A SIN.

The story at hand is that this woman has allegedly committed a crime as a private citizen and I still don't see how Baylor is at fault for this issue! Do you just refuse to answer the question posed or do you not even get the question? I don't see that it is liberal to want to know why an institution should be held responsible for what a private citizen did. I don't know what you think a liberal is; I just prefer to think that I have a brain which I use!!
