In Eau Claire County, a woman facing charges of chronic child neglect is pleading no contest.
Prosecutors say that Mary Oram and Toni Hammonds starved Hammonds’ four kids. Investigators say they got a call from Eau Claire Schools in 2024 because teachers were concerned about the children. All four children had to be treated for malnourishment. Oram previously pleaded no contest to charges and was sentenced to prison. Hammonds has pleaded no contest this week and will be sentenced at a later date.
