A woman from Bedford County may avoid jail time for child neglect if she continues treatment for depression.
Nineteen year old Amber Blevins was originally charged with felony child neglect after she allegedly tried to suffocate her eight month old son.
An examination a few days later showed the child had not suffered any harm.
Blevins told authorities she was suffering from postpartum depression at the time.
In a plea bargain yesterday, prosecutors reduced the charge to contributing to the neglect of a child.
That charge may be dropped if Blevins continues her treatments.
The child is in the care of his paternal grandparents.
