Alanna Taylor, 32, will serve between 6-8 years in state prison for the severe of her fiance's 2-years-old son.

Taylor was caring for the victim, as well as Taylor's two biological children, while her while "her fiancé worked long hours outside the home," the DA's Office said in a written statement

On Dec. 11, 2019, a friend of Taylor's visited her Taunton home and noticed the 2-year-old victim seated on the toilet for the entire 20-30-minute visit, the DA's office said. The friend left, but was quickly called back over the phone because Taylor said she found the child "lifeless."

Taylor didn't want to call 911 for fear of getting the state's Department of Children & Families involved, but the friend called anyway, the DA's office said.

The child was in critical condition, the DA's office said. He was taken to Morton Hospital and then flown to Hasbro Children's Hospital, where he was diagnosed with an acute head injury that resulted in a massive subdural hemorrhage. Doctors had to perform a craniotomy.

Bruising had also been found on his ears, cheeks, and jaw, the DA's office said.

In addition to the 6-8 year sentence, Taylor was also given two years probation.

I would’ve also restricted her from being in charge of any young children without supervision.

Why the hell would you spend all that time trying to get him, only to nearly kill him? Seems like there was a good reason they didn't have custody before.
