  • Nursery worker Kate Roughley has been jailed for 14 years after being found guilty of the manslaughter of baby Genevieve Meehan in Greater Manchester.
    Sentencing her, Mrs Justice Ellenbogen in Manchester Crown Court told her: “You have been convicted by a jury of unlawful act manslaughter and I must now sentence you for that crime."
    The 37-year-old swaddled the nine-month-old, strapped her face down on a bean bag and left her for an hour-and-a-half.
    Roughley was caring for Genevieve in her role as deputy manager and 'baby room leader' at Tiny Toes Nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, in May 2022.
    Watch the full sentencing remarks from the judge above.

    @VMM34 Před měsícem +230

    So the judge gave her less time in prison due to her previous good character, yet the judge stated Kate Roughley had treated other children badly in the nursery? And she's not a threat to other children? How can her crime not be premeditated, it went on for an extended time. It's not like she suddenly ran the poor baby over with a car in a matter of seconds. I do not agree with that judge whatsoever.

      Oh but we must try to understand that perhaps she'd had a bad day, or KFC was closed causing huge mental trauma. That will be a modern day judge schooled in the socialists 'no one is criminal it's someone else's fault'

      It’s a typical result of females being treated differently in the judicial system. If this had been a bloke the sentence would’ve been higher. We’ve seen it with volunerable people in society. Old people with Alzheimer’s and dementia being thrown around and abused by so called carers. And young babies being hurt and abused by staff. No victim blaming on my behalf, but please, please, please, people….look after those you love by caring for them in the family home. I know it can be difficult and stressful, but there isn’t a job, career, or anything else which matters more than the precious people we love. Please don’t hand their care to strangers. ✌🏻💚🙏🏼

    She didn't just take a baby's life, she put that same baby through hell and unbelievable suffering first. She ought to have received a minimum sentence of 30 years to full life term. It's hard to fathom that she will be out after a relatively few paltry years in prison. Something wrong with the judicial system that a baby's horrendous death is worth so little.

    The term is shocking. Life in prison should have been given, she has refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing on her actions or lack of helpful assistance, to save the innocent baby under her care. She also took a dislike to the innocent baby, that is horrendous, she should never have been given care of the baby, if any baby can irritate this person she definitely shouldn’t have been near any young children. That’s a ticking time bomb to any innocent child.
