Wisconsin Mom Who Strangled Son Has Been Charged

41-year-old Natalia Hitchcock appeared in court on Tuesday where she was charged in first-degree intentional homicide and prosecutors believe she’s previously tried to kill another one of her children.

Sheboygan police arrived at the Hitchcock home on March 30 and found Oliver, the young boy, unresponsive per People.

According to The Daily Beast, Hitchcock, who was born in Russia, alleges that her health had been declining since the beginning of the War in Ukraine and that her son would be better off dead than be subject to her abuse.

She is set to reappear in court today (April 7) and she is currently being held on $1 million bond.
