Elinette S. Muniz, of Millville, was sentenced Friday, June 24 on the aggravated assault charge in the February 2021 incident that left the 4-year-old child fighting for her life on a ventilator, NJ Advance Media reported.
Muniz's boyfriend, Ricardo A. Ferrera, 28, of Vineland — who is not the girl's dad — was also charged, as he apparently told investigators the girl fell from a bunk bed and that injuries to her head and body were the result of seizures that caused her to fall, the outlet said.
The girl apparently remains blind and paralyzed and requires a tube to drain excess fluid from her brain.
