LINCOLN, Neb. -- A woman accused of slapping and abandoning her teenage daughter along Interstate 80 over the girl's poor performance in a soccer game has pleaded not guilty to child abuse.

The 42-year-old Lincoln woman is scheduled to appear in Lancaster County Court again on June 4. She would be subject to a penalty of up to a year in jail if convicted of the misdemeanor charge.

Lincoln police said they believe the woman yelled at the 15-year-old girl in the family car on the way home from the game, then ordered her to repeat lines about improving her performance.
