The grandfather of a toddler who died on a cruise ship in Puerto Rico last year said he is planning to change his plea to guilty to allow his family to move on.

“I took a plea deal today to try to help end part of this nightmare for my family, if possible,” Salvatore Anello said in a statement on Tuesday after a family attorney announced his intention, according to WSBT. “Going forward, justice for Chloe must include attention being given to provide the safety measures so very needed on Freedom of the Sea.”
