The mother of a 3-year-old boy who died Sunday in Chelsea is being charged in connection with his death, authorities said Tuesday.
Jennifer Prudencio, 25, of Chelsea has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment of a child, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said in a statement.
