Katheryn Nycole Dale, the mother of 19-month-old Vincent Hill, pleaded no contest to charges of abuse of a child and aggravated endangerment of a child Thursday in Harvey County District Court.
Harvey County Attorney David Yoder said Dale admitted to injuring Vincent by jabbing a fork in his mouth, grabbing his face hard enough to bruise him and slapping him in the face.
Dale also admitted she left Vincent alone with her boyfriend, Chad Carr, knowing he had a history of violence with the child. The child was found dead in the couple’s home March 27.
Carr has been charged with Hill’s murder.
