The upstate New York hoarder parents convicted in the horrific death of their lice-infected 3-year-old daughter had shamelessly asked for money the day after she died.<\/p>\n

Samantha Dylewski, 33, and Matthew Dylewski, 34, were sentenced to up to four years in prison this month in the death of their young daughter, Joycelynn Ann Dylewski, who was found with rotting teeth and bugs on her face when she died from the deplorable conditions of the Corinth apartment on Feb. 19 2025.<\/p>\n

The day after Joycelynn died, Samantha Dylewski shared a GoFundMe on her Facebook asking for money \u201cTo Help Give Jocelyn a Beautiful Goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart really can\u2019t take this mommy need her baby girl back!\u201d Samantha posted on Feb. 20.\u00a0 The fundraiser, started by the girl\u2019s grandmother, has since been taken down.<\/p>\n

Commenting from her husband\u2019s Facebook account below the fundraising link, Samantha acknowledged in a fiery post that the couple had been charged with a crime, but claimed it was \u201cbecause our f\u2014king house not being immaculate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had to charge us with something to be a\u2013holes everyone who knows us knows Joycelynn was attached at mine and her father\u2019s hip she had us and her siblings wrapped right around that precious little finger of hers,\u201d she insisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just had to see our beautiful princess for the last time so let me my husband children and the rest of my family grieve in piece kindly go worry about your lives and families I\u2019m sure half the people talking shouldn\u2019t be throwing stones now have the day u deserve and kindly stay the f\u2013k off my daughters pics and everything and anything to do with her!\u201d<\/p>\n

Joycelynn\u2019s fatal lice infestation was so severe that she was diagnosed with anemia, which damaged her heart and organs. She also had clonidine, a blood pressure medication, in her system, Saratoga County Sheriff Jeffrey Brown reportedly said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The combination of those factors led to her death, which was ruled a homicide.<\/p>\n

Horrifying photos show rooms in the hoarder home were packed to the gills with garbage and debris. The conditions were so disgusting that the property was condemned, WRGB reported.<\/p>\n

A cockroach even crawled out of Jocelynn\u2019s winter hat when it was removed from her head by authorities. An investigator also reportedly found her teeth \u201crotten and black.\u201d<\/p>\n

The unfit parents pleaded to criminally negligent homicide earlier this year. The disgraced couple were slapped with up to four years in prison this month, with a minimum of 16 months served.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a 3-year-old, and you failed in the most horrific way,\u201d Saratoga County Judge James Davis told Matthew Dylewski at his sentencing hearing Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was completely reliant upon you. \u2026 This was completely preventable, and it\u2019s unconscionable, and I want you to think about that fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Samatha Dylewski was sentenced on June 8.<\/p>\n

Both parents are prohibited from having any contact with their four surviving children until 2038.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs their mother, it\u2019s my duty to protect them from harm, and I failed,\u201d Samantha Dylewski said at her sentencing.<\/p>\n
