A judge sentenced Rebecca Estrada, 30, to ten years of deferred adjudication, which is essentially probation. The sentence came just hours after Estrada plead guilty. Estrada was babysitting Landon Rasmussen in January, 2017 when the boy was found unresponsive in a bathtub at a home on Taylor Renee Dr. in Killeen.

In a Facebook post, Landon's mother, Destiny left the following response on the sentencing:
