Mother pleads guilty to manslaughter after death of 1-year-old son

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A Rochester mother has pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter after investigators determined that she beat her 1-year-old son to death at her apartment.

Bryasia Love, 27, also pleaded guilty to second-degree assault in court on Monday for causing injuries to her 2-year-old daughter in the apartment on Joseph Avenue back in January of 2023.

Rochester Police say Bryasia Love called 911 to report that her son, A’Mias Love, was unresponsive. A’Mias was rushed to Strong Hospital where doctors found several serious injuries: multiple skull fractures, bruises to his head, face, and neck, and life-threatening internal injuries.

The 1-year-old died days later and her 2-year-old sister survived after medical treatment. Bryasia Love faces between 22 to 28 years in prison. She will be sentenced on Aug. 23.
