Reno Woman Convicted on Felony Child Abuse Charges

30 year old Lashae Gallon of Reno has been convicted on felony child abuse charges that date to December 2015. The abuse left a 23 month-old boy boy with a major head injury and permanent brain damage. Gallon was taking care of four children and claimed two of the children fell out of a crib onto a carpeted floor. The next day, the toddler child suffered a seizure, and was taken to the hospital. Medical tests revealed a serious brain bleed, which was described by medical professionals as being consistent with injuries sustained in a serious car accident not a fall from a crib. The child required emergency surgery to save his life.
