She got 20 years from the judge - and a tongue-lashing from her own mother.A Brooklyn woman who confessed to beating her 4-year-old son to death turned to her mom, apparently for comfort, after being sentenced Friday.
But Myrna Chenphang received no absolution for the death of little Jayden Lenescar.
"You did this on your own, Myrna," the dead boy's grandma told a crying Chenphang. "There is no forgiveness for what you did."
As Chenphang mumbled, "I can't believe it," the grieving granny, also weeping, didn't hold back.
"You hurt all of us," she continued. "Jayden was a joy for me and for all of us."
Chenphang, 26, pleaded guilty to manslaughter, admitting that she and boyfriend Steven Dadaille, 27, pummeled Jayden with their bare hands and a belt after he touched his genitals. She was sentenced to 20 years.
Dadaille previously got 25 years for the October 2009 slaying.
Defense attorney Gary Conroy said after the Brooklyn Supreme Court hearing that domestic violence issues contributed to the child abuse.
"She's extremely remorseful," he said of Chenphang. "It was a complicated situation within the home.

How does a female allow a man who is not the father of her child beat him to death. Or better yet how do they tag team him.
