A 24-year-old mother in Wisconsin has been sentenced for livestreaming footage of herself physically abusing her 2-year-old son, “violently” pulling the child’s hair as he cried for help. Marinette County Circuit Court Judge Jane M. Sequin on Tuesday ordered Natasha L. Hunt to serve a sentence of 1 year in jail and three years of probation after she agreed to plead guilty to one count of child abuse — intentionally causing harm, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

Sequin, who credited Hunt with 313 days already served, also stayed an additional sentence of two years in prison, which Hunt will only be required to serve if she violates the terms of her probation. A charge of disorderly conduct was dismissed after Hunt pleaded guilty.

Another woman, 26-year-old Amara Burns, was also arrested in connection with the instance of abuse. Authorities said Burns kicked one of the officers on the scene. Records show she was convicted of battery to a police officer and sentenced to three years on probation.

Police said the abuse took place on Aug. 24, 2023, in Niagara, Wisconsin.
