OLYMPIA, Wash. – A Thurston County mother has entered a modified guilty plea to putting a narcotic pain reliever in her 9-month-old daughter's formula bottle last year.

The Olympian reports that 20-year-old Aliese Marie Gatlin pleaded guilty Friday, under an Alford plea, to second degree assault of a child and first-degree criminal mistreatment. Under an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt but it counts as a criminal conviction.

Thurston County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Dominique Jinhong said Friday that Gatlin’s daughter has fully recovered from her exposure to Percocet. The baby is in the custody of a relative.

The mother is being held in Thurston County jail until she is sentenced next week. She faces up to four years in prison.

Serves her mother right. So yeah she needs to be behind bars. The baby didnt do anything wrong at all. Her mom will get her just desserts.
