RIVERHEAD -- A woman who let a 10-year-old girl witness a dog being euthanized was convicted Thursday of child endangerment but was exonerated of animal cruelty.
Mona Kanciper, who operates a farm in Manorville, on eastern Long Island, faces up to a year in jail on the endangerment charge when she's sentenced Dec. 13.
Suffolk County Court Judge James Hudson also ruled there was insufficient evidence Kanciper knew that a horse was being put down when she sent a 12-year-old girl to the area where it was happening. The girls were students who took horseback lessons at the farm, which bills itself as a horse rescue facility.
