A babysitter is facing murder charges after allegedly killing a 3-year-old autistic girl in her care and then telling the child’s mother she had simply fallen down the stairs.
Authorities say the girl’s injuries were inconsistent with a fall and showed signs of severe trauma. Emergency responders were called to the home, but the child was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.
The case has devastated the community, with many calling for justice for the young victim. Investigators continue to gather evidence as the trial date approaches.
