She...My friend is living this nightmare right now. She had a state approved in-home daycare center for nearly 18 years. In 2008 he had a 1 year old come to her and in was in her care for one day. Later that evening the child fell ill and was taken to the hospital and was diagnosed with SBS. She had no bruises, no scratches, no bumps, no broken bones, just the triad of symptoms. Stephanie was immediately suspected and promptly charged with aggravated child abuse. When the child later died, her charges jumped to first degree murder. Days prior to coming to Stephanie's, the child had received vaccinations. Was not considered to be relevant. The child had some underlying genetic disorder. Was not considered to be relevant. Experts said the bleeding had to have been happening for days prior to being at Stephanie's, possibly as much as a week prior. Other experts said impossible. After only 4 days of trial, a confused jury deliberated for 20 hours before deciding Stephanie's fate on 2/16/12 - manslaughter with a maximum of 15 years in prison. Stephanie is currently awaiting her sentence. www.thestephaniefoundation.comHeather Woodhttp://www.thestephaniefoundation.comnoreply@blogger.com
