New video shows Kristel Candelario blaming her 16-month-old baby for starving to death

The Ohio mother who starved her 16-month-old daughter to death after going on a 10-day vacation to Detroit and Puerto Rico was seen in chilling body camera video lying to police officers, saying her baby died because she refused to eat.

Kristel Candelario, 32, who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole this week, falsely told police that last June she had been with her little girl Jailyn when in reality she was traveling and taking photos on the beach, while the baby was alone in her Cleveland home.

During the interview, Candelario showed no emotion and blamed her daughter for starving because she refused to eat.

“She was without food, only milk … she refused, perhaps because she had not eaten two days before,” the woman is heard saying in the video, first obtained by Law & Crime.

"It was scary, because I thought, 'Oh my God, we have to go to the hospital because she's not eating anything,'" he continued.

The woman claimed that her daughter, who normally slept 12 hours a night, never woke up on the morning of June 16.

After reaching a deal with Cuyahoga County prosecutors, the woman pleaded guilty in February to aggravated murder and child endangerment in connection with Jailyn's death.

This Monday, Candelario was sentenced to life in prison for causing the death of her daughter after leaving her alone at home to go on vacation for 10 days last summer.

County Court of Common Pleas Judge Brendan Sheehan told Candelario she committed “the ultimate betrayal” by leaving her daughter alone.

“Just as you did not let Jailyn out of confinement, you should also spend the rest of your life in a cell without freedom,” Sheehan said. “The only difference will be that the prison will at least feed you and give you the liquid you denied it.”
