Mom accused of tying 4-year-old daughter to bed for up to 12 hours a day: NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) -- A single mother made an initial court appearance Friday after being accused of locking her 4-year-old daughter in an apartment bedroom for up to 12 hours a day -- tethered to a bedpost and left with a plastic tote bin to use as a toilet.

Laketha Charis Moore, 36, kept her eyes downcast and said nothing as she stood in shackles and an orange jail jumpsuit before North Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Pro-Tem Eugene Martin.

The judge told Moore that she faces two child abuse and 31 child neglect charges but that formal charges had not been filed.
