“If there’s anything that happened out of the ordinary, my 3-year-old child did it and ya’ll need to do something about that,” she allegedly told Allegheny County Police detectives when they interviewed her at UPMC McKeesport. “She’s the last person to see him alive and she’s been doing little jealousy, little things — evaluate that girl.”

“Dal’von was smiling before he went to bed, and that’s why I feel like that little [expletive] girl had something to do with it,” she allegedly told police. “I’m sorry to say, that’s my kid and all, but if she did something to my son, she gotta go.”

As Parker left, police said, she told them, “Guess what, I’m gonna go home and [expletive’] drink more.”

She has since been diagnosed with postpartum depression and PTSD, Weaver said.

Curious what symptoms of PTSD and or post partum cause a woman to murder her child and blame it on her toddler. Never heard of that being part of either of those disorders.

the link says she could get 20 to 60 years. That is a pretty broad range, wondering what her sentence ended up being but can't find anything more recent than the article about her plea

I hope the 3 year old is in therapy for her time spent with her mother.
