Kate Roughley is accused of the manslaughter by ill-treatment of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan, known to her family as Gigi, who she found unresponsive and blue.
A nursery deputy manager caused the death of a nine-month-old baby girl by tightly swaddling her, placing her face down and strapping her to a bean bag, a court has heard. Kate Roughley is accused of the manslaughter by ill-treatment of Genevieve Meehan at the Tiny Toes Nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport. The defendant found Genevieve, known to her family as Gigi, unresponsive and blue on the afternoon of 9 May 2022.
The obvious effect of such a method of restraint in such a position was, we say, bound to restrict even further the ability of Genevieve to move or breathe freely. 'Finally, a blanket was placed over her that covered her practically from head to foot. The inevitable consequence of this would make any observations of her even less easy to undertake and the risk to a child suffering from overheating ever more likely.
