The 19 year old Toulon, Illinois woman who left her baby in a ditch has pled guilty to the crime.
Kendra Meaker made her plea Friday morning in a Stark County courtroom. She admitted her guilt on both the charge of obstructing justice and endangering the life of a child.
Meaker claimed that her baby Mia was abducted by a stranger outside the Toulon post office in September, causing a nationwide AMBER alert.
The child was later found in a ditch, unharmed.
Meaker will be sentenced on March 8th.
CBS4 was the only television station at the hearing. Tune in at 5 and 6 to hear reaction from Meaker's family.
