Mother bags life jail for leaving toddler at home for 10-days resulting to her death
A 32-year-old American woman who went on a 10-day vacation and left her 16-month-old daughter at their home to starve to death has been sentenced to life in prison without parole
The convict, identified as Kristel Candelario was sentenced on March 18th by a state courthouse in Cleveland
The sentencing comes after she entered guilty pleas in February for one count of aggravated murder in connection with the death of her toddler and one count of endangering children, according to online Cuyahoga County court records.
The judge who oversaw Candelario’s case, Brendan Sheehan said traveling out of state while leaving a toddler home alone without food was “the ultimate betrayal” that deserved one of the harshest legal punishments available
“Just as you didn’t let Jailyn out of her confinement, so you too should spend the rest of your life in a cell without freedom. The only difference will be the prison will at least feed you and give you food that you denied her,” Sheehan said during Candelario’s sentencing hearing
