Catherine Roerva Christen Pelzer was not convicted for child abuse, though you have to remember that this happened well over 30 years ago and child abuse laws were few and poorly enforced.
Also, possible witnesses as well as Mrs. Pelzer herself had already passed away by the time the incidents were publicized.
