A babysitter is facing murder charges after allegedly taking the life of a 3-year-old autistic girl in her care, initially telling the child’s mother she had just fallen down the stairs.
Doctors quickly found the girl’s injuries were far too severe to match that story. Despite efforts by emergency responders, she died shortly after arriving at the hospital.
The tragedy has shaken the community, with neighbors and loved ones demanding justice for the little girl. Investigators are still piecing together what happened as the case heads toward trial.
