A Wisconsin mother who starved her adult daughter with “severe autism” to death pleaded guilty in court on Thursday afternoon.

In June 2023, Amy S. Laszkiewicz, 53, was charged with one count of recklessly subjecting an individual at risk to abuse under circumstances causing death over the Jan. 4, 2023, malnourishment death of Cora Laszkiewicz, 23, according to a criminal complaint obtained by Law&Crime.

The defendant previously said the starvation regime was enacted, in part, because she did not want to upset her since-deceased daughter with traditionally sensitive issues regarding her weight, according to the Waukesha County District Attorney’s Office.
