An Ohio woman whose toddler died after she left her alone for more than a week while she went on vacation was sentenced to life in prison without parole Monday, the Cuyahoga County prosecutor said. Kristel Candelario, 32, pleaded guilty in February to aggravated murder and endangering children in connection with the death of her 16-month-old daughter, Jailyn, last year. Candelario left for vacation June 6 and left Jailyn alone.
” Candelario told the court Monday that “every day I ask forgiveness from God and from my daughter Jailyn.” She also asked forgiveness from her other daughter and from her parents. Candelario’s attorney, Derek Smith, said that no one was trying to excuse her behavior but that Candelario was struggling emotionally and was overwhelmed as a single mother of two children.
