Robinson originally was charged in 4th District Court with five child-abuse counts for allegedly choking her children, at times until they could not breathe. The woman pleaded guilty in January to two class A misdemeanor counts — one reduced from a second-degree felony — for yelling "degrading remarks to [the children] which made them very upset and could have caused them severe emotional harm."
