An investigation into a report of suspected child abuse has resulted in a woman from Bayfield County being charged with physical abuse of a 15 year old boy. TheDailyPress reports that Brianne F. Nicoletti of Clover, also known as Brianne Hyde is charged with ten counts related to the adopted boy in her care. The boy was found to be emaciated, well below the growth standard for someone his age and had scars from being hit and cut. His description of treatment in a report to the Department of Health Services outlines extreme abuse by his adopted parent. Nicolette has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is expected to appear April 16th for a status conference on her case.
