MINNEAPOLIS – A Brooklyn Park woman has entered a guilty plea to manslaughter charges in the death of her eight-year-old son.
Thirty-nine-year-old Tasha Tennin was accused of locking the boy in a cold garage overnight three years ago. The temperature was below zero and the child died.
A few months later, the victim’s brothers and sisters told a foster parent he had gotten into trouble with his mother and she ordered him to sit in the cold garage as punishment. They said she locked the door and left him there all night.
Tennin will be sentenced in March.
