Cunningham, 36, made the plea Thursday at the McHenry County courthouse in Woodstock, McHenry County State's Attorney Patrick D. Kenneally said in a statement. She faces 20 to 60 years in prison in the death of her son. Cunningham"will not be eligible for parole and must serve 100% of her sentence," the prosecutor said. A status hearing on sentencing has been scheduled for January 30, Kenneally said.CNN has reached out to Cunningham's attorney for comment.
The 5-year-old had been forced to take a cold shower after he soiled his clothes, and had gone to bed wet and naked before his parents found him dead, authorities said. A pathologist found that AJ died from head trauma due to blunt force injuries, according to a coroner's report.
So much abuse to kids these days:(
Wasted life
You're going to see a lot more of this in this country
I truly don't understand some people
The face of evil!!
Why is she still breathing?
That’s not a mother that’s a monster.
Bury her to her neck next to fire ants !
I don't understand, if this was all going on, why was the child still in the home? Why wasn't he protected? I think more people should be held accountable! All who came in contact and knew what was going on could have prevented this and did nothing. Have mercy, not a blind eye!!
Very bad
How did the child end up back in their custody? He was only 5? Seem like the parents should have been held responsible for receiving years of counseling and treatment before being allowed to care for him again. Again the system has failed this child!! Crazy!!
Jesus, if that's not a scary ass mug.
The system that failed this child should all be in jail!
Watch her only get 5 years
Bad, so bad. Poor child. The worst a killer mum
TGowdySC how could you!!!!!!
Bitch
Evil! Plain and simple
AJくんの魂がどうか安らかに。次生まれ変わる事があったらうんと親から愛されてください。
Pure EVIL
Give this bitch the needle
So sad. I hope you can somehow find peace within yourself. I can’t imagine ever killing my child. Not knowing the background I’m not judging you. Let our god,universe or whoever you want to accept as a higher power help you and love you.
Put her in the square to be publicly punished as it would have been done in some countries years ago
So sad no one saved this little boy from obvious hell.
He was failed by his mother. Why do we expect society to raise our children? That is the problem with society today. She failed him. She should pay.
Ok? Let’s wait for the sentence. I’m guessing a few months will do, right?
Maldita perra
Die a slow death
Disgusting! Pretended he’s missing, while he lay in a shallow grave all alone. I don’t understand why these people don’t just give their babies up, someone will love them. Poor angel! The state is not to blame though! Reunification with parents after rehab is best in most cases.
Parents like this don't deserve to be here. I hope they love jail bc the people there are sure gonna love them..
This is horrible and pathetic for a parent to do this to a poor innocent child. That poor baby didn't deserve any of this. I hope both those pieces of 💩 burn in hell. If they didn't want him they should have given him to CPS. This makes me mad.
There's someone who needs JESUS...
This dude is sinister looking
She looks nice
Reminds me of chelseahandler
Rat...
She looks nice
You can tell he's mean just by looking at him.
these sorts of headlines feel sensational and avoidant of a far more necessary conversation surrounding illness, addiction, healthcare, etc. this is an obvious, deep and terrible tragedy. will spotlighting this woman help? what’s the larger conversation?
look like a bad one in a mugshot .....hustle like u deserve in hell
And she'll be released after 30 days cuz of a terrible childhood
Omg so EVIL
That's one of the most evil faces I think I've ever seen.
That's a hard looking fella there.
Wow!!! People and this society today!!! How you going to kill your own child!!!
VERY SAD.. I PRAY FOR THE BOY. MAY GOD AND THE ANGELS BE WITH HIM. MAY THE PARENTS ROT IN HELL.
Atticus Finch
Why wasn’t he removed from the home?
Is that kellyanne
Am just horrified that the authorities knew about his abuse, yet he was still allowed to be anywhere near these monsters? Meanwhile hundreds of loving people are desperately trying to adopt children and have no luck. This poor child deserved so much more from life, it’s tragic
This just made me sick to my stomach
I bet Trump isn’t her president.
Please refer to her as Sir...LOL
They'll soon be calling her Hank
I hope the other inmates treat her like she treated her own child...
She seems nice.
ThesePeopleAreSick
20-60 years? Theoretically you’re telling me she could murder a 5 year old and be out in 20 years?
That face does not help her cause
The female prisoners where she's going will give her a great big ol welcome one kept for child murderers only. Pig
Now thats an ugly woman
Maybe it's our abortion mentality - the only difference between this kid that was murdered and abortion is age and location of residence!
Her eyes say 'I'd do it again'
Pure evil!
I’d love to have 5 minutes with her in a cell. She’d wish she was dead.
Maybe this lady will get what’s coming to her in prison. Little AJ couldn’t defend himself against his parents so if they were lucky someone in prison may do the same to them.
Enough people knew how this child was living and didn’t protect him! Punish the parents to the full extent available, but it’s not going to bring this child back, or return a childhood stolen!
Moments like this when nothing makes sense but a capital punishment like the chair...
Death penalty and send her to hell where she belongs.
Ew burn her , witch
Deadest eyes ever....
And yet she looks so sweet and wholesome
😳
Yeah she looks nothing like a murderer. Said nobody.
Her face tells it all. Evil is in her eyes.
She looks nice.
Is that rapinoe?
I thought they killed all the white walkers
Imagine killing your 5yr old son how can someone even think muchless do this wicked act 🤔😓 throw her in jail and forget about her.
Hang her high
She looks like a nice lady.
😪😪😪😪
Rot in hell
She looks like a nice person though.
Now that is an evil person
Perfect... how sick are you
What the fuck
guilty
it's disappointing she's still here. they must not have had her in gen pop this whole time waiting for trial. Other inmates usually deal with psychos that harm children with their own brand of justice.
Rot in jail you will get yours
Trash
Demon
She looks like pure, demonic evil.
This is horrific.
If that’s not the face of a child murderer, then I don’t know what is.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, let me ask you... is this the face of a killer? *Jury nods*
Psycho
In a movie, not real life . She gets skinned alive, cpl organs removed, then fed to boars?
The face of evil!
Cunningham's sentencing is set for January 30, 2020.
I shouldn’t have read this article. Ohhh boyyyy🤬 it awakens the monster in me 🔪 I hope they PAY. Why nobody did anything for him!? Social workers and police had countless chances. I have a boy, if someone ever hurts him, I will END THEM ⚰️ Some mothers shouldn’t have babies 💔
P.O.S
Man or woman?
She will not be eligible for parole and must serve all of her sentence , Prosecutors said.
How can she be guilty with a face like that?
capital punishment, NOW!
