A Tennessee mother has been extradited from Texas to face a murder charge in the fatal beating of her 2-year-old son with a dog toy.
Sharday Bakare, 26, is being held on $1 million bond in a Memphis lockup pending a Friday court hearing in last year's horrific slaying of Anthony Jay Bakare, according to online jail records.
Her arrest came after she allegedly told authorities she knew her boyfriend had disciplined the toddler with the dog toy and a belt before he was killed.

Authorities found Anthony unresponsive, bleeding from his mouth and with bruises on his face, abdomen, sides and back after being called to a house on Margot Street around 4:45 a.m. on Sept. 4, 2023, according to a criminal complaint filed against him.
Paramedics administered CPR and the boy was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Bakare allegedly told investigators she'd left her son in the care of boyfriend Anthony Drake Andrews, 23, before going to sleep the night before.
Andrews allegedly admitted using a "braided dog toy" to hit the boy "seven to eight times" before putting him into bed, after which he fell out out of the bed and Andrews noticed he wasn't breathing.
Andrews was arrested on aggravated child abuse and neglect charges that ABC News 23 said were upgraded in a May indictment that also charged him with first-degree murder.
Bakare was also charged with first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated child neglect and a warrant for her arrest was issued on May 14, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
Deputy marshals assigned to a fugitive task force tracked her to a house in Glenn Heights, a Dallas suburb, where she was taken into custody without incident on July 17 to await extradition to Tennessee, the Marshals Service said.
