Keemonta Peterson pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal mistreatment. The 30-year-old Portland woman must also undergo mental health treatment.
Peterson called 911 and the boy was rushed to a hospital last October after her botched effort left the infant bleeding uncontrollably and in intense pain. A prosecutor says he has fully recovered.
The Oregonian reports the boy and his three siblings are in the state's care, although Peterson can see them under supervision.
Multnomah County Circuit Judge Eric Bergstrom told Peterson on Monday that "the reality is you love your children and had absolutely no intent to harm your child."

This is truly disturbing. This baby may have "fully recovered" in a physical sense, but you can bet that he is emotionally/mentally scarred for life. This "woman" should have gotten the baby taken away from her - she's obviously crazy and not capable of sound decisions. Who knows what she'll do next...
