Today, the stepfather of a Seattle teenager was charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter after the young boy was allegedly beaten to death by his mother at the end of January. The mother pled not guilty yesterday.

A Seattle mother and stepfather are both facing murder charges for the death of their son who was beat for over three hours until he died.

Seattle police say the couple allegedly attempted to clean up the scene before they called 911 after they realized the 14-year-old boy was not breathing.

Denaya Young, 29, is charged with second-degree murder. The alleged beating started when the 14-year-old boy didn't complete his chores.
