Cunningham, 37, pleaded guilty in December to killing her son. Her sentence is set to begin immediately and will be served on its entirety without reductions other than time served. AJ Freund was found in a shallow grave near Chicago. His mother just pleaded guilty to the boy's murderUpon her release from prison, she will serve an additional three years under supervised release and will be required to register as a violent offender against youth, a judge said Friday.
AJ"lived his life in the shadow of her darkness, a dystopian world when your mother scapegoats you, beat you for minor infractions, locks you in your room so that your childish exuberance doesn't get in the way of her benzo amphetamine and opioid use," Kenneally said.
