An Ahwatukee woman accused in the 2011 beating death of her 3-
year-old daughter has pleaded guilty to child abuse.

Maricopa County prosecutors say 25-year-old Ambreatte Daniels
entered her plea Friday in the case. Her next scheduled court
date is a Nov. 21 status conference.

Daniels was arrested in November 2011 after Ahwatukee police
said they found photos on her cellphone that showed the injuries
suffered by her daughter. The girl allegedly was abused by her
22-year-old stepfather.

Police said they suspect Ambreatte knew Corey Daniels was
physically abusing her child between early September and late
October in 2011.

Dani Mayo died of her injuries on Oct. 28. An autopsy showed the
girl had multiple blunt-force trauma injuries and brain
swelling. A doctor also noted extensive bruising in different
stages of healing.

The cellphone photos were discovered by police after they served
a search warrant on Ambreatte's cellphone, according to court
documents. The dates on the photos were from Sept. 3 through
Oct. 13.

A text-message conversation between Ambreatte and Corey was also
discovered and showed that Ambreatte knew that Corey was
physically abusing Dani, according to the documents. The text-
message conversation from Oct. 7 mentioned Corey's abuse of Dani
and leaving bruises and bite marks on the girl.

Corey also asked Ambreatte where the duct tape was so he could
tape Dani's hands together in front of her before he spanked
her, according to the documents. Ambreatte told Corey not to use
the belt on Dani, police said. Police have concluded the mother
knew about the abuse but did nothing to take the girl out of
that environment, the documents said.

On Oct. 27, Ambreatte told police she knew that Corey whipped
Dani with a belt as his form of discipline, according to the
documents.

The same day, fire personnel responded to a call in the 4700
block of East Warner Road in Ahwatukee. Rescuers discovered that
Dani suffered multiple skull fractures, retinal hemorrhages,
bleeding in the brain, bite marks on her buttocks and was
covered in bruises from head to toe.

Corey told investigators he punished Dani after she refused to
eat a hot dog, police said. He began using his fists and later
switched to a belt, lashing her more than 36 times even after
she fell to the ground, according to court documents.

Ambreatte was working during the fatal beating, police said.

This was a hate crime. A black on white hate crime.
