Missouri Mom Leaves Kids with Sex Offender

(Taney County, Missouri) A 29-year-old Branson MO mother-of-three, Veronica Michelle Davis aka Mia Smith, has been convicted on two felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree.

The evidence stemmed from sexual abuse allegations by Davis’ children against Davis’ husband, Robert David Nelson. Nelson was a registered sex offender prior to his relationship with Davis, and Davis was directed by multiple state agencies to keep her children away from Nelson.

Instead, however, Davis married Nelson, then left her three (3) children – all under the age of ten (10) years – with Nelson while she left the area for several months. During that time, Nelson sexually abused Davis’ two (2) daughters.

Nelson was found guilty by a Christian County jury of those crimes in 2011, and is scheduled for sentencing July 6th.

As a result of her conviction, Taney County Circuit Court Judge Mark Orr sentenced Veronica Davis to eight years in prison.
