Nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan was also tightly swaddled and covered with a blanket by Kate Roughley, 37, who put her to sleep when she was in her care at Tiny Toes nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport.
Roughley discovered Genevieve’s lifeless body on the afternoon of May 9 2022 before colleagues and then paramedics attempted to revive the baby but her condition was irreversible and she was pronounced dead later that day in hospital.
On Monday, a jury of six men and six women at Manchester Crown Court unanimously found Roughley, of Heaton Norris, Stockport, guilty of manslaughter.
Roughley was remanded in custody ahead of her sentencing on Wednesday afternoon.

I hate the fact that this country forces mothers or a father to go back to work instead of being able to look after their child cost of living sucks I never trusted anyone with my kids except their grandparents
-
Im so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter.
-
Its sickening to think there are so called nursery nurses out there that could be so evil to do that to a innocent child.. .
-
Disturbing story about a baby killed by a nursery nurse in an environment where she should have been safe. So sad
-
Can't even trust nurse or police what now

And.. where was the rest of the staff! While this was going on for over an HOUR!

Thats why i dont trust anyone. My child my responsibility until he's grown up enough to takecare of himself....
-
Speechless about so much stupidity from a Nurse....
-
Weren't there other staff members at that nursery? Why didn't anyone else notice what was going on? Surely there was a person with overall responsibility? Strapping a baby to a bean bag bed? On her front? That sounds very very dark to me. What else goes on in that establishment?
-
They don't like child killers in prison.
-
Why did none of the other nursery workers know what was happening ? I think they did.

Home school - rest in peace little Baby girl.. I’m so sorry to her family 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

A male would've been charged with murder ! But I'm sure she'll have an absolute nightmare inside 🤞🏻

Going into a woman's prison for this sort of conviction she will get her punishment

Dont work with children if u treat them like that ffs

I was teacher myself and I can say most places they are so rough and cruel with little babies.

Employer also liable. Max ratio 1 adult for each 3 babies under 2. This nurse had 11 babies in her care.
-
We should all bring our children up at home ourselves and NEVER leave our children with anybody at all. Not ever. Not for a single minute. Very sorry for their loss. Very sad indeed.
-
