A Wisconsin woman who allegedly assaulted her boyfriend before fleeing the scene with her two young children was charged with child abuse after making the kids spend a long night outside in the freezing cold.

Angelica Saragosa, 47, appeared in court on Feb. 21, a day after she was arrested by the Thiensville Police Department.

She was ordered to be held on $100,000 bond after prosecutors told Circuit Judge Sandy Williams that Saragosa allegedly “spent the night outside with her two children, who were poorly dressed” in reported wind chill temperatures of -19 degrees Fahrenheit. The children were hospitalized for low body temperature and other “life-threatening” conditions related to exposure to the bitter cold, authorities said.
