Jamie Hildebrandt, 33, was sentenced for neglect that led to the death of her toddler son.

Hildebrandt cried during the sentencing in the courtroom of Dodge County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Sciascia who sentenced her to 10 years in prison and 10 years of an extended sentence. She had been found guilty of neglecting a child that resulted in the child’s death April 15.

Hildebrandt’s 3-year-old son died March 6, 2020. An autopsy by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner found multiple blunt force trauma injuries, including contusions to the boy’s head, chest, back and upper and lower extremities. He had abrasions to his head, face, chest and upper and lower extremities, a large subgaleal scalp hemorrhage and injuries to the child’s pancreas and an area of his stomach.

“I don’t think you could lay a three inch circle on the boy without covering up more than one injury,” Sciascia said. “This child’s death was a reprieve from a lifetime of suffering a torment.”
“The child died alone, in sorrow and pain, after being hidden away by his mother while she went about her day,” District Attorney Kurt Klomberg said. “Any stranger would have acted to help this child, yet the women who gave birth to him could not be bothered. Her actions are truly despicable.”

The boy’s grandfather Frank Pleester Sr. addressed the court.

“There is no reason or rhyme this should have ever happened. There is always help out there,” Pleester said. “I blame myself... I will never see his smile again. I will never hold him, and the quirky little things he does. I would love to see those things again.”

Klomberg said Hildebrandt used drugs throughout the child’s life and was in withdrawal leading up to the child’s death.

“She would typically use heroin at night to sleep,” Klomberg said.

Hildebrandt used drugs during her pregnancies and attempted to end her pregnancy when she was having the boy by using drugs.

The child was in the care of a family friend between 2 and 3. The friend cared for the child and had him toilet trained. However when he returned to Hildebrandt he regressed to wearing diapers.

“Part of the tragic story is this abandonment was one of the best things to happen to him,” Klomberg said. “He went to this family friend’s house and he was loved. He was looked after. He was cared for. And then for their own selfish reasons, nothing related to the kid, the child was taken back and some months later he’s dead.”

Hildebrandt’s attorney John Smerlinski said that there were more people in the family who were responsible in the home and that the situation that they were in was a horrible domestic situation.
Hildebrandt said she had suffered from depression since age 12 and used drugs to deal with the depression. She said she was taking responsibility for what she did.

“I live with the pain of losing my child every single day,” Hildebrandt said. “And I am trying to forgive myself. I am grieving the loss of my child alone in jail.

I find this whole situation crazy and what had happened to this child is sad. I believe that there is a lot more to the story than what is being said on here or anywhere else. I also believe that I heard someplace that the grandma was in the home the day the child had died and could have taken the child to the hospital but didn't. Waited until her daughter was asleep before she went to go check on her grandson. I have also heard that the grandma has seen the bruises in the past and the mother of the child claimed that the child got them from the child's other siblings. So it just isn't one side of the child's family that didn't do anything about the whole situation do to the lies that the mother was telling other's about how the child got bruises on him. The father would work from the time he got up to the time he got home from his day job and other odds and ends from going grocery shopping to helping the kids grandparents to taking care of the children if they weren't in bed already by the time he got home from work. I have also heard that the mother of the children wasn't allowed to see her first born with unsupervised visits until the father of the other children enter her life and tried to help the mother live a better life style. So when you talk about thing's make sure you know the whole story before making accusations about people. It's hard on both sides of the family for losing that child. Then to come out that the child wasn't even the father's child after DNA results came back as he wasn't the child's father. But no one cares about that. Sometimes why people do things is because of how they were raised... when blaming someone look at who raised them and how they raised the child who became a parent.

The father of a 3-year-old child who died from neglect in 2020 made his initial appearance in court on Monday, charged with neglect of the child.
Frank Pleester, 35, Milwaukee, faces three felony counts of neglecting a child (consequence is bodily harm) along with a misdemeanor obstructing charge. For each of the felony counts, he could face up to three years of initial confinement along with three years of extended supervision.

Pleester appeared before Dodge County Court Commissioner Steven Seim, who placed Pleester on a $50,000 signature bond with no special conditions.
Dodge County Assistant District Attorney Yolanda Tienstra said that there was no reason to request for special conditions for Pleester’s other two children because Dodge County Human Services has already concluded its investigation and returned the other two children back to him.

A woman, who had the child living with her at times, told police that she had questioned if the boy was being fed enough and injuries he had suffered. Pleester told law enforcement that he did notice his son acted differently and was more social when staying with that woman.
When Pleester talked to police, he denied knowing anything about any of his children’s medical information and said that Hildebrandt was responsible for that. Hildebrandt did not have access to a vehicle. Pleester said that Hildebrandt’s mother or a neighbor could transport the children to the doctor.
Pleester admitted to knowing that Hildebrandt had been abusive to the boy in the past. Pleester told law enforcement that he threatened to do the same to Hildebrandt as she did to the child.

“You want to hit the kids, I’ll show you. If that’s how you want to look, you can look like that too,” Pleester said to law enforcement, according to the criminal complaint.

Pleester told police that he told Hildebrandt that she had to stop treating the 3-year-old differently than the other children. Pleester admitted knowing that Hildebrandt used heroin.
Family members had asked Pleester to leave Hildebrandt because of her drug use and not caring for the children. They also offered to watch the children while he was at work, but he refused. Pleester told law enforcement that he had stayed with his parents about a year earlier because of Hildebrandt’s drug use. He returned when she was sober, but she went back to using drugs.
He is still ashitty person and does not deserve his surviving children.

There is more to what happened but only they know. I as grandma pray they both go to jail. I don't understand the system, I don't believe the other children should be in his care from what happened to my grandson.
I came over to the house and was told Not to go in his room because he was sick. Now looking at all of what happened I live with this pain everyday. I was told he passed way before I was even there. They believe it was that morning. I didn't show up untill 2:30 - 3:00 . I miss him so much, no one even visits his grave but me. This is not how a grandmother should visit her grandchild.
This is not how my daughter was raised. Our family loves children. They kept the kids from us pretty much of the time. If I had known, I personally would of called the police and took all 3 boys. Now on the other hand his parents and family friend seen and knew that my grandson was being abused. No one protected him and no one told me what was happening at that home. They both were on drugs not just her. They both are at blame in my eyes. You can forgive but you'll never forget. I'm a grandma of 7 grandsons and this kills me. This isn't about me I know, but I have a heart that is shattered in pieces and a piece of it is in heaven with him.
I miss the whole family including the other 2 boys he won't let me see. I ask God everyday to watch over and protect all my grandsons. I'm not a bad grandma, I'm very loving and caring. I'm a protector and I wish I knew I would of protected all of them boys. Again this isn't how she was raised. Drugs and who they are with was the problem.
 
From the grandfather's FB


Frank Pleester We got custody of the two boys Frank the 3rd and Jonathan don't know how we're going to do it but we'll get through it I just worry about my wife now she's got a lot more on her plate then usual , and once again thank you

Your trash, I can't believe social service's gave you the boys. Then they seen you the drunk you are, drinking a bottle of jack everyday they gave him the boys back. You people are disgusting, dirty people. First time we ever met you, I knew you were trash, who goes in the woods to have sex with your trash wife while at a family lake party.
So don't come on here oh feel sorry for me. That was my grandson not yours. Don't be putting me down, we have class something you'll never have. Quit reading shit on here and clean your house. Your son told me you can't even cook in the kitchen because you can't even see the stove.

You must be part of his family. You know only what is being told to you. Clearly they were both on drugs and they both should serve for justice. It won't bring my grandson back but he deserves justice. He wasn't the father and he had motive. Why didn't his parents call cps and the cops when this boy was brought to their home abused. The baby sitter sent me pictures at the candle lite visual that was devastating. So again why didn't his parents call? In my opinion I think because they didn't want there son to go to jail. If you don't really know what happened , mind your own business. More Southside trash.look him up, he was on probation for cocaine and drugs. Hmmm
I BELIEVE IN KARMA AND THAT FAMILY WILL GO TO HELL.HOW CAN YOU LOOK AT A CHILD ABUSED AND NOT HELP HIM. I HATE HIS PARENTS MORE THAN ANYTHING. THEY COULD OF CALLED ME, I WOULD OF TOOK ALL 3 KIDS THEN CALL CPS AND COPS. I LOVE ALL MY GRANDCHILDREN AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT THEM.
 
Wtf only child neglect charges?! Sooo the police just assumed the poor baby physically assaulted himself?? Like what the actual fuck? Should be manslaughter charges at the very least. Now these scum will be out in no time, able to reproduce more innocent children to neglect and abuse. Our justice system is a fucking joke.
The so called father got 3 years probation, makes me sick . Mother got 20 years.They lived there together and his family seen this child abused. They could of saved him but they didn't. No one called me, I would of took all 3 out of that place.
My grandson didn't get justice. Justice system is horrible.
