Oklahoma mom of 2 who drowned pleads guilty to child neglect

(AP) – An Oklahoma woman whose two young children wandered from their apartment and drowned has pleaded guilty to reduced charges in the case. Court documents show 24-year-old Donisha Renee Willis agreed Monday to two child neglect charges in the May 2020 deaths of 3-year-old Miracle Crook and 21-month-old Tony Crook Jr. The charges were reduced from second-degree murder counts. Willis, of Tulsa, also pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer. She has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. The children were last seen alive on video holding hands and walking toward a rain-swollen creek that flows into the Arkansas River.
