[@NurseSnow2U]

@Just Me, not trying to come across as condescending thing but there are always so many people with best of intentions that have NO CLUE what they’re talking about unless you have a specific, career adjacent job/career where you see heartbreaking situations like this everyday. It’s not about “forgiving a baby killer” of course there should be some sort of reprimand whether this was intentional or criminally negligent homicide. The issue comes in when the news sensationalizes assumptions and does what the media does to drawn people in emotionally as it VASTLY increases their revenue margins. That being said: I’m a nurse that has nearly a decade of experience in pediatric medicine. I have coworkers and dear friends that have been nurses, doctors, surgeons, techs etc that can tell you, as tragic as this is….Forensic Pathologists exist for this VERY same reasoning. It is why the law states one is innocent until PROVEN guilty as to avoid double jeopardy and also ensure that if she is an evil, worthless, sack of shxt masquerading as a human, it’s heart wrenching but absolutely IMPERATIVE that the experts and people in charge can ensure she receives the amount of punishment and relinquishing of freedom she deserves. Sadly, SIDS is capable of near instantaneous death or brain damage if babies forget to breathe or perhaps are sleeping/playing in an area that isn’t childproof and they may try to flip around to get more comfortable…silently and accidentally cut off their ability to breathe. AGAIN, that is NO ONES FAULT. This woman clearly has the trust of MOST of not ALL of the parents that drop off their precious children every day so that they can make a living and compensate her for all she does to keep them safe, keep things more affordable and convenient for the families as well. HOWEVER, having a license has absolutely NO BARRING on whether a caretaker is competent. In my state you can get licensed to work in a daycare or the elderly in 2 weeks or less of crappy ass so called training. That should TERRIFY most people, but as a collective we don’t bat an eye or pay it any mind that level of lack of preparedness is BOUND to end in tragedy some day. Same with doctors, nurses, etc…we are all HIGHLY trained individuals….mostly always surrounded by other practitioners that have lifetimes worth of knowledge and experience. But just because they have all these credentials and experience it does NOT in any way shape or form prevent this kind of thing from happening!!! I have great sympathy and sadness for the family who lost what was most precious to them. But if the situation had occurred at home where mom is a SAHW with 5-6 other little ones under the age of 10, well…..it CAN and DOES happen and most times the parents don’t receive this same scrutiny even though it is ALSO not very well known that some cases of SIDS are really just sociopathic, murderous monsters that have smothered, drowned or done even worse things to rid themselves of their children. I am not perfect, so as a healthcare professional and someone with a chronic, genetic illness…I have extensive experience of perspective from living both sides of it. And either way, it never takes the pain away from everyone that cherished the precious life of the little one that is no longer on this side of things. There are many safeguards that could’ve been used to try and prevent this, but in hindsight it doesn’t matter because you can’t go back and do things differently you can only try to become better in the future. In the mean time I don’t judge folks, I just pray for peace that surpasses understanding and wishing healing for everyone involved. Anything else is really just filler and emotional outrage and since we are based on reality here that contributes nothing worthwhile to such a tragic situation it just placates the people who don’t realize how self righteous their presumptions are and that’s really sad.

There are many things you can do to try and prevent it from happening, but unfortunately there is no definite garauntee of preventing it. Sounds like that's what happened. That doesn't excuse what the carer did afterwards, but I assume she knew she was in trouble for the illegal daycare.

Affordable, high quality childcare is a great need in this country. And yes, even in a quality childcare center an infant teacher can have as many as 7 infants.

She left her in a playpen all the time so I started taking my daughter to work. I was lucky that I had my own office but by the time she was 5-6 months I had to find a sitter. But I went through two more sitters until I quit my job. It was awful not knowing what was going on during the day and I can tell there was a difference. My daughter didn't wake up happy any longer. One day the sitter told me that she had made her pick up her Cheerios because she had thrown them off of the high chair. I was horrified. That means she wasn't with her at the high chair and probably left her there for a long time. Children throw things off their high chairs. But she made her pick them up. 18 months, you know that she was crying!

Demand live feed cameras from your daycare and keep an eye on your babies.

If you can’t take care of your own kids then why have kids?

[@kaylanetanya]

Some people have to work. Even married couples have to work. Circumstances change, such as being a stay at home mom and your partner gets sick or dies so then you have no choice. Not being able to find a work from home job. Shit happens, that’s life.

[@debby8428]

We need to stop sending billions of dollars to other countries (we just gave a town in africa 60 billion for the lbgtq+ community) and make sure our babies are safe. 6 weeks maternity leave is unacceptable. Parents shouldn't have to spend their whole paycheck for quality childcare. The time is NOW!

@losetertypounds It is not bigotry or misinformation. As a matter of fact I learned about it on youtube. Do your homework and look up harris trip to africa. You will see I am telling the truth. As for bigotry I support the lbgtq community. I would rather see that money stay here to help with their cause. But honestly this comment was about how poor our childcare is in this country. Instead of trolling me why don't you do something about what you actually clicked on this video to read about (baby dies in illegal daycare). You totally misunderstood and misread my comment so in fact it it YOU who is spreading misinformation.

One person caring for that many infants is not humanly possible. This was a disaster waiting to happen. Poor babies.

[@rickjames4031]

Very unfortunate. The reality is, no one will care for your own children like you will. No one will ensure the life and safety of your own children as you will. Now I know this is about money, right? Always is. We need 2 incomes…the pros outweigh the cons for childcare….No it doesn’t, was the few extra hundred dollars a month worth your child’s life? Was it worth the remainder of your life being changed forever? You can’t be so naive that you think you’re the luckiest person in the world that won’t fall victim and be a statistic. These stories a real and not rare. Happens too often. Do better parents. It’s our job to ensure our child’s safety. Not a family member, not a day care worker, not a nanny, not a public school teacher, put your trust in you and the mother of the child. That’s all I trust. Either my wife or myself. I only have one life, my daughters only have one life, it won’t be mishandled by anyone I can’t rely on to protect my children’s life as I would.

[@HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy]

Lucky people have their mother to babysit for them, or another very close relative in the family. Beyond that, it’s very risky. Not impossible. But you gotta really take your time and find a safe babysitter who will not harm or abuse your child in any way. In fact, mothers set cameras up in their house, to watch someone they hire to be at her home, or her child left with relatives in the her home.

Careful before casting foolish judgements on this comment thread. Someone lost their child at a daycare, illegal or not. Children die at home all the time too, or with careless family members, and gun violence. It is a sad terrible and tragic situation for everyone involved.... that is except you and I because this did not happen to us. By the grace of God go I. Might want to memorize that and use it often.

The operator of an illegally-run daycare in Bellevue remains hospitalized following an attempted suicide after she found a 3-month-old in her care unconscious, according to Metro Nashville Police. Police added that they still don’t know the cause of death of the 3-month-old. Know it all bitch.
