Katie Austin Lee, the mother accused of taking her 17-year-old son’s life the day before his 18th birthday, has admitted in court to the shocking act.

She claimed she did it to fulfill what she described as his final wish.

The 40-year-old from Holland, Michigan, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, resisting a police officer, and an additional count of inflicting severe harm during the incident that ended with the passing of her son, Austin Dean Pikaart.

Lee said she gave him a “mind-altering substance” before cutting his wrist and throat, insisting she believed he did not want to reach adulthood.
