An Ohio mother has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty to the murder of her 16-month-old daughter. The tragic incident occurred when prosecutors revealed that the child was left home alone for 10 days in a playpen while her mother went on vacation to Detroit and Puerto Rico.
The mother, Kristel Candelario, 32, expressed remorse during her sentencing hearing, stating that she has sought forgiveness from both God and her deceased daughter, Jailyn Candelario.
