KEWAUNEE, Wis. (AP) _ A Luxemburg woman whose minivan caught fire, killing two children in her care, says she can't afford $18,000 in restitution for medical costs or funeral expenses.
Investigators say Susan Laluzerne left six children unattended in her van while she went in a store in Luxemburg last November. The van caught fire, killing 9-month-old Amelia DeMeuse and 2-year-old Dylan DePetro.
The fire's cause wasn't determined, and Laluzerne got a six-day jail sentence and year's probation for running a day care without a license.
At a hearing Friday, her lawyer said the Laluzernes can't afford the restitution.
But the victims' attorneys disagreed, one noting the family just bought a car.
The judge made no immediate decision.
Still unsettled is $500,000 Laluzerne's auto insurance company set aside for claims.
