Logan Mwangi’s body was found in the River Ogmore, in Sarn, Bridgend county, last July, with 56 internal injuries.
Mr Cole, Ms Williamson and a 14-year-old all deny Logan’s murder.
Police interviews with Ms Williamson at Bridgend Police Station were read to the jury and she was asked about each of the injuries Logan suffered.
She said: “When he went to bed he had none of those injuries”.
Logan was found with 56 injuries, including extensive scalp bruising over the back of his head and tears in his liver and bowel.
When told by the police about these two injuries she said: “Does that mean he suffered?”
Police officers asked Ms Williamson if she caused Logan’s injuries.
She said: “No, I didn’t sir”.
She said when she saw Logan in hospital she did not recognise him because of his injuries.
She denied to police that her son’s injuries were cause by her hitting him and told officers she sent Logan to bed without any tea the night before his body was found.
She said: “We went to give him tea, but he was naughty so we took it off him. I’ve only ever done it once before.
“Missing one meal is hardly the end of the world”.
Earlier, the trial heard Ms Wiliamson accuse Mr Cole of “extravagant” lies over Logan’s death.
During her police interviews, she said Mr Cole had told her he had “46 convictions in the past”, adding that “he killed him [Logan]”.
She described Mr Cole as her “ex-partner” and said he had “lied” about her hitting Logan, ripping his pyjamas, sleeping in his room and screaming “he’s dead”.
Asked about Mr Cole’s account, she said: “This story is very extravagant.”
She said Logan was made to wear a mask in the house because he had contracted Covid and said Mr Cole would make Logan “face the wall”.
She said Logan had been “the apple of my eye ever since he was born”, and that he would hurt himself “to get the attention”.
She said Logan was already gone when she woke up and she had “absolutely nothing to do with my son’s death”.
Ms Williamson was asked if she knew anything about lights in her house or movement outside her house in the early hours of the morning before Logan’s body was found.
She said: “I was asleep, if I was awake this wouldn’t have happened, I could have saved him. If I was awake Logan would be alive.”
When asked about Logan’s injuries, she said he had “slight bumps and bruises, but kids do” and when she put him to bed, “none of those face marks were there when I left him”.
She told police Mr Cole had initially “swept me off my feet”, but had since ruined her life and was “conniving, vicious and manipulative”.
Mr Cole has admitted a charge of perverting the course of justice, which Ms Williamson and the 14-year-old deny.
The two adults are also charged with causing or allowing the death of a child, which they both deny.
The trial continues.
