Please pass a law that it's mandatory for daycares to have cameras in every room.

[@Zombiemommie2000]

My daycare has cameras in every room but they only live stream so they’re literally pointless. But apparently legally we can’t record the kids because there is times they are naked in our care so they don’t want to record kids naked and that’s literally it lol.

​@@lindseybennett8310 MIGHT?! The poor child had a misshapen skull and while this isn't really my area of expertise, I there's no question that could be signs of more serious health problems in the brain during foetal development. Although the bones are soft enough to distort (those "alien" skulls we find at archaeological sites in the Aztec (IIRC) are done over many years of successive bandaging. As often happens, the cops decided she was guilty before she even sat down and the lack of *required* disclosure or discovery by the prosecution seems to me to point to just that. This is probably nothing more than a tragedy - and if this had happened at home, the parents would be in the pokey, not the child minder.

[@Chemically_Induced]

The state says that the evidence was made available to her defense attorney. They're playing the blame game and saying that the defense had their shot at using it at trial. Even the medical examiner has reversed his position on it being murder. The problem is that the state really hates having convictions overturned. It opens the door to all of their other convictions being questioned. It's a tough road to hoe because of the confession, regardless of it being after 6 hours of interrogation. A admission which she denied 79 times during the course of the interrogation, but gave up and just started telling the detective what he wanted to hear. The state didn't withhold evidence. Her defense attorney gave up before they even started, because of the confession.

[@TaterTots380]

It's yet another very sad case that features a false confession, flawed medical testimony, and a DA's office unwilling to admit they made a mistake. Sadder still is that they are still fighting for her release.

Then, once I started getting hired in preschools, I ultimately quit repeatedly because the schools were quite literally not abiding by state regulations, and the amount of emotional damage I saw done to those children on a daily basis was too much for me to bear. I'm now a private tutor for middle school and high school students, since that's where private tutoring has the most need. I do genuinely miss the preschool setting and the amazingness of what 3- and 4-yr-olds have to offer... but I just can't make myself go back to witnessing trauma and abuse on a daily basis and then being called the problem when I call it out....

Based on her body language and word choices alone, I think she’s innocent. I don’t see any deception. Messed up that they pushed her into confessing into something she didn’t do. They need to train these destructive to read body language better, and to be able to know what actual deception looks like. Cause it’s not this.

Reminds me of Jodie Arias demeanour when detective was describing what they found

She needs to be set free. RIP Ben.

The problem is these detectives are hammers and everyone they speak to are nails. Pathetic.... I hope they can't sleep at night.

Wait, the defense had x rays proving the child did not have a skull fracture but they prosecuted her anyway? I see a major lawsuit.

[@pkhansen4101]

She is strange!!

Why because she is sweet?

[@suzieb8366]

That younger detective is after a prey. I wonder how he feels now, knowing an innocent woman is in jail because of HIM and his partner being tunnel visioned and fixated on her guilt from the start.

This poor young girl was sitting there, innocently telling her story when the whole time these slimy cops are setting her up. If Ben was shown not to have any fractures, why wasn’t her conviction overturned?

[@Kharsonist]

While I'm sympathetic if shes actually innocent, i find that there is enough information put out there to know to request a lawyer. Police even are forced to offer that suggestion to you. I know the logic behind people wanting to explain but surely lawyering up is put in their faces enough

[@sameoldsonganddance]

Why do they call her low I Q speech? She sounds normal to me.
