(KSL News) A Utah County woman accused of abusing two children in her care by starving them and making them sleep in a bathtub wants to get out of jail.

Lawyers for Mary Heath yesterday requested her bail be lowered from $50,000 to $10,000. A judge will hear arguments on the motion next week.

Heath was arrested last month after her 9-year-old niece was found wandering her Eagle Mountain neighborhood wearing nothing but underwear. Police then went into Heath's home and found the girl's 8-year-old brother locked in a bathroom and almost starved to death.
