SEDGWICK COUNTY — A Kanas woman avoids jail time in connection with the abuse of her stepdaughter.

Amanda Moore, 31,  Wichita, was sentenced this week to 36 months of probation, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

If she violates probation, Moore could face three years in prison.

In February of 2019, police responded to home in the 1700 block of South Faulder in Wichita, according to Officer Charley Davidson.

A 2-year-old girl's father found his daughter vomiting and then not breathing. 

The father began lifesaving measures and the girl was taken to a local hospital where it was discovered she'd suffered critical head injuries, according to Davidson. Police arrested Moore, identified as the girl's stepmother on a requested charge of child abuse.
