WISCONSIN -- A Milwaukee mother makes a stunning admission in court.
Charged with neglect after the family dog mauled her baby, CBS 58's Priscilla Luong was there when she entered her plea.
Luong spoke with the mother off camera after her court appearance, and the good news is the baby is recovering well, after getting attacked by the family dog.
The mother entered a plea in court earlier this morning. In the above photo, that was Angelina Lache, 27, pleading guilty to one count of child neglect resulting in bodily harm.
Her 3-month old baby boy was mauled by her
According to a criminal complaint, the baby's 9-year old brother told police the dog nipped the baby while he was in his bouncer, then latched on.
The 9-year old tried to make the dog stop, but the dog was too strong and pulled the baby to the ground.
Lace lied to police and said that the infant was attacked at a friend's house by a different dog, according to the complaint. She also told the older boy to not, "tell the cops the truth because they're gonna' kill Ace," according to the complaint.
Police found out about the attack after she got into a car accident on the way to the hospital.
Lache finally admitted to detectives that she left the boys alone while she went to a store and that the dog attacked the infant while he was crying in his bouncy seat. She said her older son attempted to pull the dog away but that the animal was too strong.
When she returned home she saw the baby injured on a bed in his brother's room, put the boys in her car and was driving to the hospital when the accident occurred.
She also said that on separate occasions the dog bit her older son on the face, his uncle on the hand and that both required stitches. She admitted lying because she didn't want to get into trouble and did not want the dog to be put down, according to the complaint.
Lache will be in court for her final sentencing on January 8.
