I know but it still makes it sound like SHE (the child) was the babysitter.
I am still not sure who was to be watching the baby. I do know this if the ten year old is really guilty then why did mom who was to be watching the baby let this happen? Why is she not charged?
Plus the fact how did the ten year old get a hold of her medication to give to the baby? I was on meds at ten and my parents gave it to me, twice a day, out of the medicine cabinet never me getting it myself!!!
Yes, the headline certainly does. After reading the full article, and not just the excerpt, it's clear that the mother of the 10-year-old was the actual babysitter. Now, I'm wondering if, since it was supposed to be an overnight babysitting, maybe the 10-year-old might have been trying to make the infant go to sleep. I'm also wondering what kind of meds it was, as the article didn't actual state what they were.
I'm honestly thinking the mom of the 10-year-old was tired of a crying baby, wanted some sleep, gave the baby meds, or gave the 10-year-old the meds to give the baby (cold meds). This would explain the meds being something the 10-year-old would use (but they could have been something else - we don't know what, yet). Then I think mom tried to sleep herself. The 10-year-old, being concerned mommy wasn't going to be able to sleep with a screaming baby, then went in and tried to quiet the baby, and out of ingorance, not evil intent, killed the baby.
