SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The Spokane foster mother blamed for starving her 7-year-old son to death gets out of prison tomorrow.

The Spokesman Review reports 55-year-old Carole DeLeon has served about half the sentence she received in a 2007 plea agreement.

Tyler DeLeon died in 2005 on the day he turned 7. The autopsy showed he weighed only 28 pounds.

The state Department of Social and Health Services agreed to pay $6 million in a settlement for the children who were placed under DeLeon's care, including $180,000 to Tyler's estate.
