WALNUT CREEK, Calif. (AP) - A married couple who left the man's two young children home alone while they partied in Las Vegas for New Year's pleaded no contest to child endangerment and were sentenced to home confinement, a prosecutor said.
Jacob Calero, 39, was given a 270-day sentence for two felony child endangerment counts, and Michelle De La Vega, 32, was ordered to serve 180 days for a misdemeanor accessory charge, prosecutor Dara Cashman said. They entered their pleas and received their sentences Thursday.
Joshua Calero, 10, and his mildly autistic brother, 5-year-old Jason, were found unattended in their San Ramon home Dec. 31. They spent one night alone before their maternal grandmother, Liberata Holden of Manteca, called police and said she suspected that the boys were not being watched.
