Karen Foster, 62, pleaded guilty to manslaughter following the death of nine-month-old Harlow Collinge, who died from injuries he suffered at her home.
A childminder has admitted killing a baby boy in her care after shaking him "in frustration" when he fell out of a chair and cried.
Her basis of plea for manslaughter was that “forceful shaking” of Harlow caused his death after he had toppled over out of his high chair, began crying and she shook him in frustration, the court heard. Later that day she called 999 and told the operator that Harlow was not breathing, the court was told, and went on to inform a paramedic he had suddenly collapsed.
