NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. (AP) - A Nebraska City mother has been given two years of probation and some jail time for having her boyfriend force her two sons to watch the movie "Mommie Dearest."
Court records say 28-year-old Mary Lucas also was sentenced Tuesday to perform 40 hours of community service and spend four weekends in jail and 10 days more that can be waived by the court. She had pleaded no contest to negligent child abuse.
Authorities say Lucas' boyfriend at the time duct-taped the unruly 4- and 5-year-old boys to chairs while the movie played as he baby-sat them in August. The movie depicts actress Joan Crawford as a mean mother. Court records say the boyfriend thought Lucas wanted to show the boys that she was not the meanest mother.
