Man pleads guilty in case over young daughter’s rotten teeth

EASTON, Pa. (AP) — The father of a 6-year-old girl whose teeth were so rotten her life was endangered pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment on Friday.

Kenneth Wanamaker Jr. pleaded guilty weeks before a scheduled trial in the case, The Morning Call newspaper in Allentown reported (http://bit.ly/1G1WgCw). A dentist had testified the girl’s teeth were in such bad shape they posed a potentially fatal threat to her health, the newspaper said.

Wanamaker also pleaded guilty to false swearing and is eligible for parole. His sentence is two months to a year, but he’s been in jail since having his bail revoked in December for failing to enroll in drug treatment.

  3. What a dirtbag, in general.

    That said...unless he's a single parent on welfare, and somehow able to get his daughter on Medicaid, it can be extremely difficult to find a way to pay for dental care, even more than medical. Few employers still offer health insurance anymore, and dental insurance is even less common. Even with dental insurance, paying only a percentage after deductible, it can be out of reach.
