A former probation department guard convicted of child abuse for letting five minors beat a boy who she wrongly believed had taken her cellphone at a Los Angeles juvenile hall was sentenced to a year in jail.

Diane Buchanan was also sentenced to four years' probation. The judge said Buchanan showed no remorse and she was fortunate the victim did not suffer more severe injuries and die.

----------------

Prosecutors alleged that Buchanan opened the victim’s cell door and let in five boys to attack the youth. Buchanan did not report the incident or seek medical help for the victim.

She later found her cellphone in her car, authorities said. oops!
