HONOLULU (AP) — The mother of “Peter Boy” Kema was sentenced to jail for violating the terms of her probation again.
Hawaii County Prosecuting Attorney Mitch Roth said Jaylin Kema was sentenced Monday to 10 days in jail, KHON2-TV reported .
She was sentenced to 10 years of probation in June after being convicted of manslaughter for the 1997 death of her 6-year-old son. The probation became stricter in October after Jaylin Kema tested positive for marijuana multiple times, but she has violated three times since then.
Jaylin Kema’s probation officer said she failed to report to a random drug test and provided an inadequate urine sample when given two hours to make up for the absence.

Kema was granted a supervised release from prison in April after serving one year behind bars for her role in the death of “Peter Boy.” She pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2016 as part of a plea agreement. Her husband, Peter Kema, also pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
