Prosecutors say Christine Padilla, pictured, was operating like someone under the influence when she plowed her SUV through a red light and into a nanny and baby last February — two days after she gave birth.

A California attorney who struck and killed a nanny pushing a baby through a San Diego crosswalk before horrifically dragging the child and stroller beneath her SUV has been sentenced to just 48 hours in jail.

Christine Padilla, 35, was sentenced Friday to jail time, probation and 180 days of electronic surveillance after plowing through a red light and into the 41-year-old woman less than two days after giving birth to her own child.

Monserrat Mendez was thrown approximately 30 feet from Padilla’s Toyota 4Runner, and the 14-month-old boy and stroller dragged through the intersection Feb. 1.

Padilla ran the red light and struck and killed 41-year-old Monserrat Mendez, who was pushing a stroller, seen here mangled under her vehicle, through the intersection.

Mendez, a mother of two, was rushed to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla where she was pronounced dead, 10News reports.

Prosecutors described Padilla as being sleep deprived after undergoing labor and operating like someone driving under the influence.

The toddler, who suffered a skull fracture, broken bones and ribs, as well as a lacerated spleen, is still recovering from his injuries.

Bryan Formon, the 14-month-old boy in the stroller, is still recovering from the Feb. 1 crash.

“She should not have been driving,” the prosecutor told Judge Charles Gill.

Padilla pleaded guilty last month to a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter and two traffic infractions.

The toddler, pictured, suffered a skull fracture, broken bones and ribs, and a lacerated spleen from the horrific crash.

In an emotional appearance before her victim’s family, Padilla apologized saying, “If I could take your pain and make it mine, I would.”

Mendez’s eldest daughter emphasized in court that no apology could be great enough to mend the loss Padilla caused her family.

“There’s nothing that will bring my mother back,” 16-year-old Amy Barragan said while describing her mother as her best friend. “I just can’t explain the pain we’re going through right now.”

Monserrat Mendez’s 16-year-old daughter Amy Barragan said her mother was her best friend.

The judge previously stripped Padilla of any jail time but added the two days’ sentence after hearing the pained testimony from the victims’ family, including the parents of the 14-month-old boy, Bryan.

“Aren’t the lives of Monse [Mendez] and my son worth more than this?” the toddler’s mother Allison Fomon asked the court. She described Padilla’s sentence as a “slap in the face.”

Fomon initially rejected Padilla’s apology, accusing her of being more upset for herself than the lives she forever changed, NBC reports.

The mother of the injured toddler, Allison Fomon, told Padilla that she doubted how much she really cared about her victims, including the young family they left behind.

“I don’t doubt you are sorry this all happened, I just question where the victims fall in your totem pole of remorse,” Formon told Padilla.

Police determined that Padilla been speeding or talking on her cellphone. She wasn’t on drugs at the time.

“We hear about drunk driving, distracted driving, texting while driving and I think this was a case that shows the community that driving while you’re tired, driving while you’re inattentive, can be can be just as dangerous,” an attorney told 10News.
