SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A Salem woman whose 2-year-old daughter was beaten to death by her boyfriend was found guilty Wednesday of criminal mistreatment.
Marion County Circuit Judge Albin Norblad ruled that 20-year-old Amanda Burciaga failed to protect her children from abuse that led to the beating death two years ago of her daughter.
The Statesman Journal reports Burciaga faces up to five years in prison when she is sentenced June 21.
Burciaga left the girl and her 4-year-old son in the care of Russell Ros while she worked out-of-state as a prostitute. Ros was convicted last year of murder and sentenced to 78 years in prison.
