- Woman convicted of killing her disabled 3-year-old son - Cecilia Angelita Ochoa, 31, a Riverside woman was convicted Monday of killing her 3-year-old developmentally disabled son, Matteo in 2003. Matteo suffered from hydrocephalus, a brain disorder that causes spinal fluid to build up around the brain. Because of his condition, the child, who could not verbalize his pain, often cried and banged into objects. “She told police she was tired of his crying and didn’t know what to do to get him to stop crying,” the prosecutor said. “But everybody who knew the boy will tell you if you hugged and snuggled him, and let him know that he was loved, he would stop crying.” The night the boy died, a neighbor had complained to Ochoa that the child’s crying was keeping her awake. The defendant, aware that her son was standing next to his bedroom door, forcefully swung it open, striking him in the head, then waited six hours before contacting authorities.
