On Wednesday, Andreal Hagler, now 41, pleaded guilty on the murder charges for her 8-year-old daughter.
In May 2022, Hagler was arrested after the girl was found dead in a home near Winthrop and Kenmore in the Uptown neighborhood.
Chicago police said Hagler killed the girl then injured herself a day after a state child welfare worker had visited the home.
As a result of the girl's death a supervisor for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services was suspended in 2022.
At the time, a spokesperson for the agency said it took two months before they could check on the child and there were "no noted concerns for physical abuse or neglect."
Hagler was sentenced to 28 years in prison. A judge ordered she must serve 100% of the sentence. She was given credit for the 987 days she already served.
