Jessica G. Hundley, 29, and Kody A. Fore, 29, both of Lavalette, were arrested Tuesday and charged with child neglect creating risk or injury. The couple's 3-year-old child was found climbing an 8-foot fence leading to a playground for Prichard Elementary, according to complaints filed in Wayne County Magistrate Court.
