M.L. pair charged in neglect case

A 30-year-old female and 35-year-old male from Meadow Lake are accused of neglecting five children after an investigation that started July 2016.

The children were removed from the residence at that time and have not been in the care of the two adults since then. Following an extensive investigation that involved many interviews and analysis of evidence, the pair was charged by Meadow Lake RCMP on Dec. 1, 2017.

The parents will not be identified to protect the identities of the children involved.

Both are charged with five counts of failure to provide necessaries, five counts of forcible confinement, and two counts of assault causing bodily harm. The male is also charged with one count of aggravated assault.

The two adults were arrested in Saskatoon by police on Dec. 6. They appeared in Meadow Lake Provincial Court the next day, and have since been remanded in custody.
