Woman who kept her 4-year-old nephew in a lock-up room when he “misbehaved” and laughed when she forced him to drink water from the toilet, beat him with a broom inflicting сutѕ and bruiѕeѕ all over his face before attempting to blame the toddler’s 9-year-old sister for his death; sentenced

Court records show that a 55-year-old woman, later identified as Yolanda, who previously pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of her 4-year-old nephew, later identified as King, has now been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Initially, both Yolanda and the victim’s 9-year-old sister were charged in connection with King’s death, which was described as a result of a broom beating. However, Tara, communications director for the District Attorney’s Office, clarified that the case against the sister was dropped. It was confirmed that the 9-year-old girl had no involvement in the killing. Yolanda, who had previously blamed her young niece, admitted her guilt, absolving the girl of any responsibility.
