Sioux Falls resident Kevin Kroger, his wife, Nichole Kroger, and their children have reunited eight times at the prison's "Parents and Children Together" house since she began serving a sentence a year ago for a sixth-offense DUI and child abuse related to a drunken driving incident, the Argus Leader (http://argusne.ws/1VYZWvJ ) reported. But they were notified by the state this week about the cancellation of their upcoming March 19 visitation. Kevin Kroger says the weekend interactions have been important for their 3-year-old son, who has Down syndrome.
