A mother who was facing trial for allegedly leaving her little girl in a hot car entered a plea Monday morning in Northumberland County.

During jury selection, Tonia Sones of Delaware pleaded no contest to aggravated assault.

Sones told state police her 2-year-old daughter, Annabelle, fell asleep in the car last August. She says she went inside to shower but must have fallen asleep. Six hours later, she found the little girl having a seizure.

Sones' daughter suffered heatstroke and has brain damage from being left in the hot car

6 hours later?! That’s some good smack to nod off that long! As strong as this baby is, unfortunately, she won’t live to see her next birthday unless she’s taken away from druggie mom. Throw the bitch in a pit of used hypodermic needles like the Saw 2 and let her crawl her way out.
 
I'm not trying to be funny, but why most of the mug shots of the white girls the hairs is the same way pulled over to the side?
Only so many places you can part hair!

Mine is actually kinda sorta like that. I have stick straight fine hair that couldnt hold a curl even with the most powerful hairsprays. Its long and looks flat and meh when its parted straight down the middle so I side part with layers to make it look less dead weight like.
 
Wait...she fell asleep IN THE SHOWER for 6 hours? No way. She spaced and forgot her child in the car. Shower, nap doesn't matter...this pos forgot her CHILD. It's not like forgetting your phone or your purse. You forgot a living breathing human being. What?

A Northumberland County woman accused of leaving her 21-month-old daughter in a sweltering sedan for nearly six hours is headed to trial.

Tonia Lee Sones, 26, has withdrawn her no-contest plea to an aggravated assault charge.

Her attorney, Kyle W. Rude, said Thursday his client chose to stand trial after Northumberland County Judge Charles H. Saylor informed her she would be sentenced to state prison.

The plea agreement called for a county prison sentence with work release eligibility.

The judge gave Sones time to consider her options and she chose to go to trial, Rude said.

She entered the plea in August during jury selection for her trial on charges of aggravated and simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person.

Sones’ daughter suffered a heat stroke while in the hot vehicle on June 1, 2018, causing extensive brain damage.

Assistant District Attorney Julia Skinner were unsuccessful said the toddler could not speak, feed herself or have solid foods, had daily seizures and no control over her limbs, was unable to walk and had vision impairments.

She was removed from the mother by the county Department of Children and Youth Services, she said.

State police accused Sones of intentionally leaving the baby in the hot car but this is her account of what occurred as detailed in arrest documents:

She left her daughter asleep in the car about 7 a.m. while she went inside her Delaware Twp. home to take a shower.

She decided not to wake the child because her mother, who watched her overnight while she was working, told her she had slept for only about three hours.

She made sure the windows were up and the doors locked before going into the house.

She fell asleep by accident as did her boyfriend who also works at night.

When she awoke about 12:45 p.m. she put on sweatpants and a T-shirt and rushed outside to find her daughter having a seizure. She brought her inside and called 911.

The girl initially was treated at Evangelical Community Hospital near Lewisburg where her arrival temperature was 103 degrees.

I guess they have a sob story they think a jury will fall for.

She altered a young girl's life forever and thinks she should only get a slap on the wrist for it.

True justice would be her getting a harsher sentence than what the judge would have given.

Tonia Lee Sones has been sentenced to 4½ to 10 years in state prison for leaving her then 21-month-old daughter in a sweltering car for five hours in 2018.

Sones, 28, told county Judge Charles H. Saylor she did not show up in the morning when the sentencing was scheduled because she planned to take her life.

A bench warrant was issued and she was located a short time later, hiding in a closet in her home with a gun. She was transported the courthouse and sentenced in the afternoon.

Sones had been found guilty in August on charges of aggravated and simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person.

Her daughter suffered serious brain injuries from which she has not fully recovered.

She was left asleep in a car seat about 7:30 a.m. on June 1, 2018, while Sones went inside, intending to take a shower and get diapers and clothing for the girl.

Instead, Stones, who had worked a 10-hour night shift, fell sleep and did not wake until about five hours later.

She testified she decided to leave her daughter in the car because her mother, who watched her overnight, told her she had not slept well. Sones had told police she made sure the windows were up and the doors locked before she went inside.

State troopers testified during the two-day trial the temperature that day at 7 a.m. was 71 but by just before 1 p.m. it was 82.
