SEATTLE β A Seattle mother is in jail on suspicion of murder after telling police she cut and beat her teenage son until he died because she was angry that he didn't do his chores. The year-old woman called around p. Thursday from the family's home and reported her year-old son went unresponsive while she was disciplining him. The report alleges the woman told investigators she shoved the son against the wall, and he struck his head, went limp, then fell to the floor.
The woman told investigators she stopped the beating because the boy was unresponsive, the report alleges. At a bail hearing Friday afternoon, the woman refused to appear in court, but a public defender argued for her release from custody. Given her limited history, the fact it appears she cooperated with law enforcement, and the fact that she has very limited resources, she should be released.
KOMO News is not naming the woman yet because she hasn't been charged. Prosecutors indicated in court they expect that to happen by Tuesday.
