depends on how the kid died, the fact she plead guilty definitely lowered her sentencing and it could have very well been a very stupid 100% her fault accident that she should have known better than to let happen that she'll regret for the rest of her life, we cant know how the kid died from a single line title of an article.
Also if that image is actually connected to the top article and isnt just something the writter found on the internet, that is a LOT of weed lol.
Alright for context on the woman (trigger warning: child abuse leading to death):
.
"Foster mom, Lisa Jo Vanderlinden, who pleaded guilty to killing a 2-year-old child in her care, will serve one year in jail and be on probation for 14 years, a Duchesne County judge ruled on Wednesday.
.
Vanderlinden was also fostering the child's 1-year-old sibling at the time of his death, which medical examiners determined was due to "significant internal injuries" and blunt force trauma.
The 2-year-old was found dead at Vanderlinden's home on Aug. 5, 2018.
At the time, Vanderlinden told investigators she was frustrated with the child's behavior and that he vomited multiple times that night. A family member told police they heard a loud bang from the bathroom while Vanderlinden was bathing and changing the boy, after which he wasn't acting normal and would not walk. The next morning, he was found dead.

...At the time she was arrested, Vanderlinden also worked at the children's justice center, which helps investigate child abuse.
.
Prosecutors with the AG's office negotiated a plea deal, amending charges against Vanderlinden from aggravated murder to child abuse homicide. Both are first-degree felonies. Reyes said the plea deal allowed the state to pursue a first-degree felony charge "minus the cost of trial and without having to traumatize other children as witnesses.
.
Prosecutors argued Vanderlinden should be sentenced to the maximum prison term and stated she "refuses to accept responsibility for her actions and should not receive leniency."
