Manslaughter?? It should be murder. Horrible bitch.
"A nursery nurse will be sentenced today, Wednesday 22 May, for causing the death of a baby girl who she strapped face down on to a bean bag for more than 90 minutes.
Kate Roughley, 37, tightly swaddled nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan before she further restrained her with a harness and then inappropriately covered her with a blanket.
Roughley then failed to conduct adequate checks on the distressed infant before she discovered her unresponsive and blue on the afternoon of 9 May 2022.
Her colleagues at Tiny Toes nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, and paramedics tried to revive Genevieve but her condition was irreversible and she was pronounced dead later that day in hospital.
On Monday, 20 May, a jury at Manchester Crown Court unanimously found Roughley guilty of manslaughter by ill-treatment after the prosecution said she “persecuted” the youngster for occupying too much of her time."

Nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan, who was murdered by a callous nursery nurse who apparently 'didn't take to her'.
I cant imagine what her family are going through right now, they will never get over the loss.
Others apparently noticed the way nursery worker Kate Roughley treated and spoke to the baby...why did no one speak out before she did something so horrific, which resulted in the babys death?

"A jury was told a baby girl was in ‘genuine fear’ as a nursery worker strapped her face down on a bean bag prior to her death.
Kate Roughley, 37, is accused of the manslaughter of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan, who died following an incident at the former Tiny Toes Nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport.
Ms Roughley, deputy manager at the nursery, is alleged to have swaddled the baby in a blanket and put her to sleep on her front onto the bean bag on May 9 2022.
She then fastened a strap across Genevieve's back before she later placed another cover over her, prosecutors allege.
Staff and paramedics carried out chest compressions on the child but sadly they were unable to revive her."

Ugh, I'd happily do time to take her out if that was my baby.

I think it's long been known that both swaddling a baby and laying them on their stomachs to sleep, is one of the main causes of cot deaths.
This woman is deputy manager of the nursery, she has worked with children for 17 years...she knew that her actions, and then leaving the baby unattended for so long, could possibly be fatal.
The reason she did this was because the baby irritated her, and this was known.
Once more people who know look the other way. Will the old #Lessons have been learned' be churned out again? There is no excuse for this babies death. Someone should have spoken out long before this woman could act so horrendously.

I dont think you ever swaddle kids that old. Only newborns (the rules are different now and I'm out of the loop)..
In any event, other adults had to know this crazy bitch was strapping kids down and leaving them covered in a blanket.
I would have to make an exception about hitting women if that happened to one of my grand kids. I'd kill the bitch if i thought i could get away with it, but i don't want to spend the rest of my life in prison.
But busting her face wouldn't get me more than a few hours in jail and a few thousand dollars fine..

I was swaddled. I'm still here.
This seems more malicious than accidental.

Millions of kids are swaddled, it doesn't mean for some it isn't lethal, babies can quickly overheat, swaddling them, especially with blankets, gives them no chance to lower their temperatures.
No baby should be left to sleep on their stomachs either...it's dangerous... she must have known that.

I think the whole origin of swaddle was to prevent suffocating in loose blankets. I used to swaddle my daughter with her arms out.

My daughters are swaddling when they are first born because babies are used to being in the womb and its comforting for them.
They often sleep in weird outfits that have arms but no legs. Like a sleeping bag with arms.
Only an idiot swaddles a 9 month old and places them face down on a beanbag chair.

Customs change, when I had my son in the 70's, we were still told in hospital to swaddle, ie wrap them up like a little mummy, so they couldn't move their arms or legs, and no doubt babies did find this comforting.
I never followed those 'orders', I just didn't like the fact that babies were so confined, and some of the newborns in hospital did get hot and sweaty.
It wasn't long after that swaddling was associated with some cot deaths....it soon became out of favour.

14 years...it should be life.
"Nursery worker Kate Roughley has been jailed for 14 years for the manslaughter of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan. Deputy manager Roughley, 37, swaddled the child before strapping her face down onto a bean bag.
The infant died of a combination of asphyxia and 'pathophysiological stress' following in the incident in May 2022 at Tiny Toes Nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport. Following a four-week trial at Manchester Crown Court, Roughley was unanimously found guilty of manslaughter by jurors on Monday, May 20. She denied the offence; and an alternate offence of child cruelty"
"Roughley, of Basil Street, Heaton Norris, Stockport, was sentenced this afternoon by Mrs Justice Ellenbogen."

Four days after Genevieve's death she was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. In her initial interview, she maintained that she checked on Genevieve regularly. When presented with the contradictory CCTV, she provided no comment to every question.
She looks just like the nasty unfeeling cow that she is.
