JIM THORPE, Pa.—Two eastern Pennsylvania parents will spend time behind bars for the death of their baby girl.

Authorities say the Palmerton couple's daughter had no food or water for 16 hours after being left in a car seat in a hot room.

A judge sentenced Kimberly Taschler to 14 months to three-and-a-half years in prison. Husband Jacob Taschler will serve 11 months to two years.

Authorities allege the Taschlers had neglected 11-month-old Kayla even before her death in January 2010.

Both parents cried in Carbon County court on Thursday. Thirty-year-old Kimberly Taschler says she was overwhelmed and didn't seek proper help.

Prosecutors say the mother received a longer sentence because she was home when the baby died and was her primary caretaker.
