A DeWitt woman who worked as a paraeducator for Beatrice Public Schools has been formally charged following an alleged relationship earlier this year with a 14-year-old boy. Casey L. Schaefer, 28, is charged with enticement by electronic communication device and negligent child abuse, both felony counts. Her arrest stemmed from a January report concerning social media messages between Schaefer and the 14-year-old male from Beatrice. She was employed by Beatrice Public Schools at the time, and her employment was terminated following Schaefer's arrest. Police followed, and observed the 14-year-old, who does not have a license, switch seats with Schaefer and drive the vehicle on West Court Street.
