Bond reduced for Joplin woman charged with two counts of felony child abuse

After denying bond for a Joplin woman charged with abusing her four-year-old child, Jasper County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Hensley changed his mind today.

Online court records indicate the bond for Haley Kaitlynn Simpson, 26, Joplin, was set at $3,000 cash only Friday, with the following conditions:

-Simpson is to have no contact with anyone under the age of 17

-She is not allowed to have alcohol


At the last update of the Jasper County Jail roster, Simpson was still behind bars.

A video arraignment was held Thursday with Simpson entering a not guilty plea.

The Joplin Police Department arrested Simpson on two counts of felony child abuse December 6 after receiving a call at a local hospital about an abused four-year-old.

The other person charged, Adam Duncan, 28, Joplin, was taken into custody Tuesday after a five-day hunt.

Duncan is also charged with two counts of felony child abuse.

Simpson's next hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. January 2.

    $3k bond is a joke. No wonder these people keep re-offending.

    And the kid will have all kinds of problems because they think it's better to put a child with a blood related abuser than a non-related home that will care for children properly.
