[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

What are the odds of one baby falling from the counter while the other baby is at the ER for what doctors describe as an “intentional” injury? [/quote]

It’s more likely that one of the parents did some thing heinous to the one child that the babysitter discovered so they had an excuse to leave the house with the one baby. They probably had already injured the other baby saying it was asleep or something. [/quote]

They weren’t home when the first heinous thing happened. The sitter called them to tell them he was hurt. They came home and took him to the ER.

The sitter having a psychotic break seems more likely than two parents conspiring to kill their children, time or to happen one at a time, and blame it on the sitter. [/quote]

No, that’s not what happened. She first told the parents that  baby 1 had a weird injury on their genitals so they took that baby to the hospital. (I think one of the parents harmed that child before she got there). While they were gone at the , the other baby 2 got the other injuries. [/quote]

Articles disagree with you and clearly say the first injury happened while she was watching him. [/quote]
