ORANGE CITY, Iowa (AP) – A January sentencing has been scheduled for a northwest Iowa day care operator convicted of injuring a toddler. A Sioux County news release says a jury found Dianna Winder guilty Friday of felony child endangerment causing injury and misdemeanor assault causing injury. Her sentencing is set for Jan. 9.

The incident leading to the charges occurred on Nov. 11, when the 15-month-old boy’s mother pick him up and noticed marks on his face. The mother says Winder said she didn’t hit the boy. Winder, who lived in Maurice, was arrested in late December.
