Just horrifying! But both kids were being cared for so what were the professionals doing while this happened?

This does not add up. Yes shouldn”t she have been at school and what was she doing at a day care centre holding babies. where were the the carers at the time. Feel so sorry for that poor little baby and the parents leaving and trusting that day care centre to look after their baby. Nothing makes sense.

Should she have been at school? I have a feeling that it might not be the full story but absolutely horrific anyway.

This sounds a bit strange. We need more details.

Sadness fr so many people in this story.

So many questions and really we all need to know more than this snip. But my sympathy to the parents of this little boy. May you be resting in the arms of the Lord little one.

What a sad story. My heart goes out to the family of the 6month old who lost their baby boy. And my heart goes out to this 10year old girl, placed into foster care since some months and placed in foster care with the same family that also runs the day care center where the infant’s death occurred. She has clearly gone through a lot and it’s the question if she got the psychological help she needed. Hope she gets it now !

Omg terrible. How this girl even got a hold of the baby. So tragic

How does this even happen?! A 10 year old shouldn’t be in day care, or left alone with an infant.

This is sad all round. Sad for that poor baby boy and sad for this little girl who is clearly going through something major in her life being removed from her birth parents. I really hope they provide this child with the support and help that she needs now and to deal with this death when she’s older as well.

Oh my goodness what a sad story. Such a messed up scenario. RIP to the little boy

Not only the childcare place but the people who put her there in the first place should be held accountable too beside the little girl. It would seem the girl does have problems and hopefully these will be addressed.

  The girl was in foster care and they own the childcare centre. Legally the Foster Family is responsible for her. I very much doubt the girl would be charged as an adult in Aust.

Oh!!!! I feel sick! I wonder if this was an intentional act to show her despite for being in another family’s care. I cannot see why the girl was with a baby unsupervised, she is too old for daycare. Where were the workers!! Thank God Australia has high standards of care, staff qualifications, child to staff ratios, and high standards of safety. This scenario is insane!

This is so awful that poor baby.

This story is both sad and heartbreaking. I wasn’t going to read this article yet after reading it I don’t know what else to say I am sad for words in many ways.

Why on earth was a 10 year old girl holding a baby in a day-care centre unsupervised. This is an incredibly sad situation.

This is just insane. How does this even happen. One life lost and another young life destroyed

Oh, that’s so sad. Poor baby. And this girl? Is it 100% sure that the injuries were not accidental? Still to question indeed why a certified day-care centre would let a 10 year old supervise the kids.

Should the daycare also be held liable? I know the 10 year old did it but she should not have been unsupervised with a baby.

Where is the adult supervision around here, shouldn’t just be blamed on a child the carer should have been supervising in the first place why has that not been brought up!
