Foster Mom Pleads Guilty

A Michigan foster mother has admitted to abusing two children in her care for years in St. Clair County. Prosecutors say 39-year-old Sarah Hager locked the children in dark rooms and even dog cages between 2017 and 2021 at a home in Emmett, west of Port Huron. Investigators say the children described repeated beatings and severe punishment. Hager pleaded guilty to four felony charges, including attempted torture and child abuse. She is expected back in court for sentencing on June 22.
