Prosecutors refuse to reduce charges for St. George woman

State prosecutors are refusing to reduce felony charges in the case of a 39-year-old Saint George woman charged with child neglect and abuse.

Jennifer Rose was arrested in October after her three-year-old son Brandon and his older disabled brother went missing.

Officers said Rose left them to go to Mesquite to sell herself to get money for drugs.

A family friend found the kids alone with dirty needles in the house, and took them.

Brandon tested positive for amphetamine.

Rose's attorney says she's in drug treatment.
