Texas mother Crystal Williams was this week jailed for 99 years for the brutal abuse and starvation death of her 5-year-old stepson two days after Christmas in 2012. Police were called to the home of Charleston and Crystal Williams on December 27, four years ago. But the boy's real mother, Carlotta Balleza, blasted this portrayal in a statement to the court. Little Josiah Williams weighed less than 18kg when he died in her care. When Crystal Williams was confronted with these pictures, she broke down sobbing.
