A 10-year-old Indiana boy was crushed to death after his foster mother, who weighed 340 pounds, allegedly sat on him for several minutes because he was “acting bad.”

Jennifer Lee Wilson, 48, was sentenced in January to six years in prison, with one year suspended to be served on probation, according to WMAQ. She was charged with reckless homicide in the death of Dakota Levi Stevens.

On April 25, police were called to a home in Valparaiso, Indiana, because the boy was not breathing and turned out to have no pulse, CBS News reported. An officer found bruising on the child’s lower neck and chest. Officers attempted to resuscitate the boy, but he was transported to a hospital where he later died.

The neighbor told officers that Dakota ran to her house before the medical emergency and asked her to adopt him because his parents hit him in the face. The neighbor said she did not observe any signs of injury to the boy.

Wilson then came to take her son back, the neighbor said.

Dakota was 4’10” and 91 pounds, while Wilson was listed at 4’11” and 340 pounds.
