The sentencing comes after she agreed to a plea deal for two counts of injury to a child.

The discovery of the young boy's remains and his siblings made headlines in October 2021. Harris County deputies responded to the scene after receiving a call from a 15-year-old claiming his brother had been dead for a year in the apartment they lived in. At the time, the teen also told 911 dispatchers that his parents had not lived in the apartment with them for several months.
Officials said the boys' apartment was in a deplorable condition. The unit reportedly had no furniture or bedding, soiled carpet, and cockroach and fly infestations.
As the case unraveled, it was discovered that the teen texted his mom, Williams, to tell her he could not take it anymore. The young victims told authorities their mom's boyfriend, Brian Coulter, had kicked and punched the 8-year-old until he stopped moving and had black eyes. When the young victim could no longer move, Coulter then covered his body with a blanket. It's reported that Kendrick would last be seen alive before Thanksgiving of 2020.
As the investigation continued, Williams and Coulter were then charged with the crime.
Earlier this year, Coulter was sentenced to life in prison with no parole. Prosecutors said this case was one of the most horrific cases of child abuse that they've ever seen.
