A St. Joseph mom has pled guilty to murder in the death of her 8-year-old son this year. Mia Morrow entered the plea on Monday and will be sentenced to at least 25 years in prison on October 3. She also has to testify against husband and co-defendant Brian Morrow. The young boy was severely autistic according to what Morrow told police and she said they pulled him from a learning center due to multiple calls to Child Protective Services. The boy weighed just 31 pounds and she says he had been going “downhill” before he died and was not eating or drinking. She added he was also having breathing problems. Her husband waited until May 3 to tell anyone about the boy’s death, which happened May 2 and the child’s grandmother called 9-1-1.
