[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone following this story?  A close friend of the family (and PhD student)is charged with killing the infant in her care, as well as harming the other.  Very sad.

Yes and I think there is a lot missing from the story.

The fall from the bouncer - I could see this happening if the bouncer had been on a table which plenty of parents do even though it is unsafe. She fell asleep and woke up to find the baby and bouncer on the floor. Close to the edge of a table the movements of a baby could tip it off.

Also the idea that everyone will wake up to a crying baby is not true. I recall be very tired and falling asleep with my baby crying. I wasn’t asleep more than a few minutes  but it made me realize that it’s definitely possible to sleep through a crying baby.

How many infants with head injuries has the ER doc actually seen in person in his career? But let’s say it was as bad as described - did it happen before that afternoon?

The other injuries - having seen a very severe diaper rash. I think it’s possible that someone could initially report it as an injury or a purposeful act. [/quote]
