BELLE VERNON, Pa. - A woman has been arrested on charges of endangering children for allegedly ignoring warnings and sending her two kids to school with lice.

Authorities in Belle Vernon, Pa., said Nicole Lynn Holmes remained in jail yesterday awaiting a preliminary hearing. School officials told police the problem arose in February, when Holmes was told she had to get her children treated before they could return to school. But police say she later sent the kids back to school without treatment and exposed other children to lice.
