BEAR, Del. - A Delaware day care worker has been charged with murder after police say she covered the nose and mouth of a 4-month-old baby with her hand until the infant died.
Dejoynay Ferguson, 19, of New Castle, has been booked on one count of first-degree murder.
Delaware State Police officials said in a news release that state troopers and paramedics were called around 10:35 a.m. Thursday to Little People Child Development Center in Bear, where they found the infant girl unresponsive. She was rushed to Christiana Hospital in Newark, where she was pronounced dead.
Ferguson, who was the assigned caregiver for the girl, worked in the Infant Room at the day care. Troopers said investigators with the state police's homicide unit learned that Ferguson put her hands over the baby's mouth and nose and restricted her breathing until the girl became unresponsive.
"Once becoming unresponsive, the victim was placed back into a crib by Ferguson," troopers said in the news release. "After approximately 20 minutes, Ferguson advised the owner of the facility that the victim was unresponsive, at which time a call was made to 911."
A probable cause affidavit obtained by NBC Philadelphia states that surveillance video at the day care center captured the infant's death in full. The video shows Ferguson pick the baby up from the floor by her shirt and place her on a changing table.

A 4 Month-old in daycare?
What the hell is wrong with people?
The proper penalty for this deed, after conviction of course, is to be smothered.
My thought too.
Good question.
How incredibly tragic. But this is one of the consequences of two income families which is now the status quo for most Americans unfortunately. I think it is time to re-think daycare centers in general. A friend of mine nearly lost her baby when she noticed after picking the child up from a highly recommended day care facility , that her daughter was lethargic and becoming non responsive. It turned out the baby had ingested an oxycotin pill. Now it was never clear if the child was deliberately given a pill to quiet her during the day or more likely it fell out of the bag of a staff member and she ate it off the floor, but the result was the same. She nearly died.
Dejoynay??
Hmmm. I seem to recall barnie slanders calling for silencing babies last week. Trigger? I’d sure be pushing that one if it were me. I mean if the walmart perp in ElPaso is blamed on PDJT............ Just sayin’.
If Deleware doesn’t allow for smothering, I’d settle for whatever means of execution they do allow.
That said, I think that the day care owners likely carry some responsibility as well. The training looks to have lacked something, and one would think that a second person would be checking in every half hour or so—I bet the kid was a little out of control for at least a bit before the perp took things into her own hands.
I looked. You’re right.
In her defense she was probably trying to listen to a Bernie Sanders presser.
they should be teaching these things in schools, apparently common sense is lacking in many people these days no personal responsibility is being taught and condoned....also anyone around children shout be taught you cannot shake a baby it can kill them..
Yeah, I know. And I had to click anyway. What surprised me was the photo of the daycare facility. It looks very upscale and fairly new. Dejoynay looks to to heading to the hoosegow for beaucoup moons because the entire act of murder was caught by one of the facility’s cameras.
Another millstone candidate.
No surprises, as per the link:

You can’t train away a heart that will murder the helpless. You may not even be able to detect it.
... well, aside from asking for opinions about abortion.

‘Keep that down’: Crying baby irritates Bernie Sanders
He’s repulsive.
I think she forgot about the surveillance cameras running.
She didn’t want her DNA around the baby’s mouth or nose, hence the gloves.
I truly feel sorry for both the child’s parents who have lost so much as well as the Day Care facility because it seems as if they’ve done all they could.
Wonder if that state has the Death Penalty and how long she’ll live while on Death Row, if they have it.
The proper penalty for this deed, after conviction of course, is to be smothered.
I vote for electric chair.
