The Press-Enterprise reports that on Friday, Rebecca Haro was
sentenced in Riverside to 12 years and eight months in prison
after pleading guilty to child endangerment causing great bodily
injury, involuntary manslaughter and accessory after the fact.
Authorities said they believed Haro knew or suspected her son,
Emmanuel, was being abused by his father and failed to act.
Haro didn't address the court during her sentencing hearing.
The plea comes after Haro's husband, Jake, was sentenced last
year to more than 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to
second-degree murder.
The boy went missing last August and has not been found. The
couple reported Emmanuel was kidnapped outside a store in
Southern California, claiming Rebecca Haro was attacked and left
unconscious while changing the boy’s diaper. They were arrested
a little more than a week later at their home in Cabazon, some
20 miles (32 kilometers) west of Palm Springs.
The case drew widespread attention as authorities and members of
the public fanned out to search for Emmanuel.
