An Indiana mother of a 6-month-old boy who was found covered in more than 50 rat bites in their vermin-infested home has been sentenced.

Angel Schonabaum, 29, learned her fate on Thursday after pleading guilty to one count of neglect of a dependent. She received a four-year sentence and was given credit for time served of one year. The balance of her sentence was suspended to probation, online court records show. She will be required to take a mental health evaluation and follow any recommended treatment.
