Twenty-seven-year-old Jaymie Rundle entered the plea to party to child neglect resulting in death in La Crosse County Circuit Court Thursday.
Three-year-old Audryna Bartsh died in 2014 following a seizure. WXOW-TV reports a criminal complaint says there were signs the child had been physically abused and was malnourished. The toddler was the daughter of Rundle's boyfriend.
Rundle argued her boyfriend abused his child and her. But, Judge Elliott Levine told Rundle her inaction warranted punishment. Rundle is expected to testify against the child's father when he goes on trial in January.
She is sentenced to eight months in jail after pleading no contest to charges related to the death of a toddler.

According to the criminal complaint, Bartsh's three-year-old daughter died from fatal child abuse at the end of October 2014 due to a number of contributing factors, including cuts and bruising to her face, neck, abdomen, arms, back and legs. The medical examiner said the battered child clearly had not received adequate nutrition and had extreme "failure to thrive" conditions.
Bartsh told authorities the toddler stopped eating two weeks before the seizure and when he changed her diaper he noticed how thin she was. Rundle and Bartsh said the three-year-old would refuse to eat and would sometimes make herself throw up. The toddler had regressed in potty training and was back to wearing a diaper. Bartsh described her as going downhill and "you could call us negligent." Bartsh and Rundle also explained some of the injuries as accidents or results of an ear infection.
One of Rundle's older children told police Bartsh and Rundle spanked her under her pants and diaper and slapped her a lot. The child said the toddler "had marks on her yesterday, marks on her today, and will have marks on her tomorrow."
