According to court documents, the 38-year-old Texas mother, later identified as GIoria, was sentenced to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to causing serious bodily injury by omission in connection with her child’s death.

Prosecutors allege that the defendant allowed her husband, 34-year-old Briian, to beat her child, Kenndrick, to death before forcing her other three children to live with the victim’s decomposing body for more than one year.

The defendant’s partner was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of first-degree murder.

Before being sentenced, the 38-year-old mother reportedly told the court that she regretted allowing her children to live with her deceased child’s body, but that she did so to keep them away from her husband.

During the sentencing, prosecutors stated that while she questioned her partner’s abuse of her children, she still expressed love for him.

The investigation began in 2021, when the victim’s sibling called 911 and informed the dispatcher that he and his younger siblings had been living with their deceased sibling for a full year.

During the investigation, authorities discovered that the mother’s husband beat the boy to death, then covered his body with a blanket and left the apartment.

The couple relocated to another apartment, only to abandon the woman’s three children and their sibling’s body.

The victim’s sibling told investigators that he saw her mother’s husband beating their brother until the victim’s eyes stopped blinking.

Only the boy’s skeletal remains were discovered when police arrived at the home after the victim’s sibling dialed 911.
