Toulon teen mom Kendra Meaker received the maximum allowable three-year prison term today for abandoning her 3-week-old infant along a rural roadside last fall. Circuit Judge Scott Shore told the 19-year-old woman that he would have given her an even longer sentence if the law allowed it for her offenses of felony obstruction of justice and misdemeanor endangerment of the life or health of a child.
