The toddler was taken to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital in Pendlebury, but died from his injuries the next day.
Burn mark
He suffered bleeding and severe swelling of the brain and had bruising to his legs, a burn mark and bite marks.
In court, Wong admitted that she had hit and bitten Hugo in the days before his death when he had been "naughty".
She claimed the burn mark was caused when Hugo was playing with a hairdryer.
Wong's partner, Jian Liu, had been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child by an unlawful act and attempting to pervert the course of justice, but a jury found him not guilty of both charges.
Hugo was being cared for by Wong, who was being paid £120 a week to look after him.
His father and mother, who was only 16 when she gave birth, worked at a Chinese restaurant in Southport.
His mother only saw Hugo once a week, the court was told.
