According to a police report, staff at the Family Service Center shelter saw Wofford bring the child, Jeremiah, to the front desk asking for help because he wasn't breathing.
A medical examiner found numerous injuries on the boy and ruled the homicide a result of asphyxia, according to the police report.
Wofford told police and agents from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that she put Jeremiah down for a nap about 3 p.m. When he wouldn't go to sleep, she straddled him by sitting over his legs with his face down, according to the report.
She also told investigators blisters and burns on his back were from her placing him in a scalding shower as punishment
