This is horrific!

A Louisiana mother who confessed to putting hand sanitizer and perfume in her toddler’s feeding tube – ultimately killing him – has been sentenced to 40 years behind bars.

Erika Wigstrom, 22, was handed the maximum sentence after she pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2014 death of 17-month-old Lucas Ruiz, Plaquemines Parish District Attorney Charles Ballay said on Tuesday. She does not have the possibility of probation.

Apparently, her toddler had Down’s syndrome and a heart condition, which meant he was going to need special attention. So, she didn’t think that was worth it and killed him.

I hope she spends the next 40 years thinking about what she did.
