To restrain a baby, put her face down then cover her head with a blanket is murder
And evil. That child suffered😢😢😢
I have a friend who went to collect her baby daughter from the childminder. When she got there the childminders was dark & no-one would answer the door. She was banging for ages, looked through the window & her daughter was in the dark, on her own, slumped forwards in the highchair. She thought she was dead! So she smashed the window in, called the police & the childminder was upstairs in the shower & had been drinking wine! It’s really worrying that these people can look after our children 💔
😮
😮
Wow!🤯 That's shocking! What did the childminder & I use that term loosely, Say when she was caught out??
I’m so sorry you had that experience, I hope you reported her. I’m a childminder and this story breaks my heart.
This is why I refused to go back to work after I'd had my kids. My job was to look after them.
I was an apprentice at a nursery and it was the most toxic environment I have ever worked in. I will NEVER send my kids to a private nursery. They would slag off children and the parents and the dep manager was neglectful there aswell. I quit after 4 months I couldn’t take it any longer.
I worked in a private nursery, owned by three Norland Nannie’s. I can assure you that not all nurseries are unsafe, but you are somewhat right, as I’ve experienced some nursery staff who I wouldn’t leave my child with.
Often boils down to untrained, unqualified staff. Cheap labour often wins.
If I’d had children, I’d have preferred to have a live in au pair to one of these nurseries. Rich owners talking a good game but being run by poorly trained/uneducated/understaffed nasties on very poor pay. What could possibly go wrong?!
I worked in nurseries for 17 years and have to say that is not the norm and shocked by this story as to me common sense surly should tell you not to face a child down to sleep like that ! How that nursery work ever for a job or someone from the nursery didn’t step in shocks me and why the hell was a young child ever allowed to sleep on a beanbag! The whole Attu is of this woman does not belong in a nursery and isn’t normal! Poor Baby. In a better Nursery this would not of happened. I feel so angry that nobody stepped in!!
@@bevegan911 what's wrong with you?
@@maloryj7165 wrong with u
I am not even a kid person."Do you want to hold my baby?" My response: "Abdolutely never." But, the few times I have babysat was me nerve-wrackingly checking if the baby was still breathing every 30 minutes. You don't have to like kids to have an innate protectiveness. I am 35 and would protect a 30 year old just because they're younger. I will never understand how anyone could hurt a young blood.
Exactly.
The thought of listening to a baby scream for their life while she suffocates for an hour. ....... Makes me absolutely ill. That's some evil shit.
I know! I do not understand how everyone just walked by and let it happen! They are all at fault for this beautiful babies death.
Is it possible that they’re bitter about the family?
I think she decided whether she liked a particular baby or not and it wasn’t always necessarily based on behavior, but on how privileged or how loved the child was by its parents. I believe she took a tremendous dislike to Genevieve in an envious way and decided to cause her tremendous suffering - and if she happened to get into great physical distress she could claim it was unintentional and that the nursery was understaffed. She is evil, evil, evil.
Totally agree
Hands up who struggles to get out of a beanbag?
Ffs this is making me so angry.
I’m going out to lunch with a dear friend ANGRY! 😤 😡
🤚
✋🏻
I’m glad I’m not the first to say it
✋🏻
100% woukd take me forever.
My heart hurts when listening to this 💔 My 3 months old baby boy is now sleeping next to me. 👶 I've been waiting for him my whole life. I've found out I'm pregnant on my 40th birthday ❣️
Congrats to you mommy, I hope your journey with baby boy continues to grow strong! 😇 😊❤
@@kyralowry4708 💓💓💓
Congrats. My boy is 4 months. He's my rainbow. Lost his sibling last year. I'm so scared of him dying even when he's laying on a flat surface..I wake up loads to check he's alive..
Omg this is horrible, I feel lucky now. My mom had to go back to work when I was 2 months old. So she placed me in a nursery. She told my dad I sounded really hoarse. He was a tow truck driver so on his lunch break he showed up. He found me in a crib in a back room with the door shut crying. He picked me up grabbed the diaper bag told the lady who was supposed to be watching me to F off and left.
I can’t help but wonder how many babies had near death situations under this woman’s care. I have a horrible feeling that it is more than a few. I have so much rage towards this woman that I am glad there is an ocean between us.
I worked in childcare for over 15 years and it got to a point where o was burnt out. Between having my own kids and taking care of other children, my heart wasn’t in it anymore. I quit immediately. It wasn’t fair to the kiddos to have someone caring for them that didn’t want to be there. Never would I hurt a child. This is heart breaking. 😢
Emma my first comment was before i finished listening to this horrible story 😢 as a nursery worker I'm disgusted that this was allowed to happen I can tell you one thing I will risk offending anyone I don't care if it's an other worker my main priority is the safety and well-being of any child around me and if I hear or see anything that doesn't sit right with me as a mother of 2 and a person in a position of trust i will act and speak up. The pay isn't great for a nursery worker, but most of us do it because we love children and how innocent they are. I want to make a positive influence on each and every child in my care. You done this story justice. My thoughts are with the family ❤
Same, I’m a childminder and I can’t believe this woman did this 😢
Poor little bubba. That woman had zero idea of how to look after babies! I'm not a parent.. but common sense surely tells us NOT to put a baby face-down on anything, let alone a beanbag!!! Horrendous! Those poor parents :(
Its normal for babies to have tummy time, but on a flat surface and not swaddled with a blanket over their head. That's mental!
I feel she had every idea on HOW to look after a baby, this was a purposeful and evil action that she chose to take because the baby was annoying her by being "grumpy".
Poor child was picking up the negative emotions of the so-called carer, little wonder Genevieve was upset.
@@katiemurray8141exactly! She knew fine well, she purposely wanted to cause that baby distress and I believe she knew that swaddling and placing a baby facedown could cause harm or worse. She's a murderer.
That woman seems totally devoid of the ability to feel empathy, guilt, or remorse.
As a mum You can tell when a baby cries when they're in distress you can tell it's a different cry so what the hell...
Completely agree x
Even as a non parent you quickly learn the difference between babies cries!!! A few weeks is more than enough time and that woman just didn't care which pisses me off!!!
@@elishahilker Very True ... What baffles me is using a beanbag chair in the infants room and strapping the babies to it... Who thought that was a good idea ??? I can't imagine why anyone would strap a baby face down... Makes me angry... Why just Why??? ❤️💚💜🇨🇦
u know-im 36 and not a mother- what I cared for till now was a pigeon baby- they hav to be fed every 4 hours-i took it with me when I took a shower- it was screaming after almost that time for food and also after being fed it snorted happily in its nest- that was almost 10 years ago and I still react to pigeons squeaking every summer in their nests outside-waking up wanting to look after them-so obviously thats incomparable to a BABY but ....how could u leave that baby screaming for one and a half hour......
This woman was clearly an evil piece of work, I make no excuses for her. But in my opinion small babies should be cared for by their mother in those early years. My eldest daughter is trying for a baby, I have told her I will care for my grandchild so she can continue working part time. You can never get back those early years they are so precious. Babies want their family not strangers .. My opinion is that they should have one on one care when tiny. When they are 2years plus and are out of nappies, and can articulate to you if unhappy , then child care is a possibility. I don't want my grandchild entrusted to effectively strangers...
How a woman in a job that she was privileged enough to be trusted by parents, to leave their precious babies in her care could treat this little angel like she did is just so evil. Her reactions and lack of care or compassion during and after her trial is so callous. My heart breaks for this baby’s parents and siblings. Thank you for covering this Emma ❤
I am not saying that she was not a totale fail in her job , but also , why is this a one way privileged its also verry nice and convienent for parents , to leave their kids in good care . I feel absolute horror for that poor baby and her parents. I belief mothers should be able to afford to take care of their own baby's, if they cant , they should be supported to do so .
The abuse of such a beautiful tiny little vulnerable girl tore my heart apart. I am so livid with pure hatred.
This woman should never get out of prison.
Horrific and cruel...my question is, why was there a beanbag in the baby room to begin with? It's a huge hazard at baseline. Also, I strongly believe the unnamed colleague should be jailed as well. They were close enough to engage in conversaion with Ruffley, which means they would have ALSO heard her crying. Any normal person would go over and rescue that sweet child and immediately filed a complaint against their colleague -- either with the director, the director's boss if there is one, or Child and Family Services.
💯
When you first said she swaddled the baby and put her on the beanbag FACE DOWN! I was doing the washing up and actually dropped a mug and smashed it and shouted what !?!?!?!?! Absolutely stupidity on her part and is in the worst profession ever !
I agree except for the stupidity part. This monster had been doing the job for 17 years. She knew not to put a baby face down on a beanbag. This was purely malicious and cruel.
@@lisagray5687agreed it was intentional and evil!
My youngest is 13 and used to go to a private day nursery till he was 18 months, he got blue lighted to hospital choking on toad in the hole turning blue i rushed out of work i was absolutely terrified he was fine thank god but then i was on a night out and saw someone who once worked at the nursery and asked me if my child still went to the nursery i said no why ? She burst into tears and said that my poor child used to be upset when i left him so they used to put him in a corner on his own in his car seat for an hour to settle! My son now has anxiety and major social issues doesnt have many friends and i alwayd think, is there a connection ? Deffo think there needs to be more inspections, if you work in a nursery and see this stuff happen report it !
😮
Yep, there have been some cases in the past few years with babies choking on pineapple etc . Negligence all the way.
Wow. I rang up once cause she was really upset when I dropped her off. They use an app where they can share photos and they sent me some not long later of her smiling and clapping. They did good at distracting her. She was 9 months. She loved music so they got instruments out and was singing with her in the pictures. This baby is harder to distract..he's 4 months so hopefully things will get easier
How could the other carers also ignore the cries? How is it possible?? I mean this woman wasn't the only one taking care of the babies there?!
It was reported in local media that the staff were scared of Roughley and she was considered a bully.
I agree that is their job to care for babies and children and to watch a baby slowly die because you are scared of that woman is ridiculous. Being afraid of somebody like roughley to the point where you let a baby die makes you as bad as her because a babies life comes before anything.
@@rabbitsonjupiter6824Of course they were scared of her. She’s a psychopath.
@@rabbitsonjupiter6824they should’ve overpowered her and called authorities, no matter how scared they were. A disgusting excuse to allow a baby to die 😢
@@jesclifford88 I completely agree with you. They enabled her to control and bully the babies in her 'care' by staying silent. Roughley doesn't even look the least bit remorseful on her photos; just defiant. She's utterly despicable.
Swaddling is common for newborns. I've never seen a 9 month enfant being swaddled. My son hated it from birth. He couldn't have his legs constrained or he'd get upset. This poor darling went through hell. Why do we tolerate these people to care for our precious babes? I don't get it.
Having another little one has only enhanced your beauty, vibrancy, and otherworldly glow. Etta Blue picked the very BEST parents.
Well ivf I don't think is right its not natural n by time she's 20 the parents are elderly.
@@lightfaeries7by the time she’s 20 she is going to have had 20 wholesome years of absolute love and adoration from her parents who wanted nothing more than to be just that HER parents! Not everyone is blessed to be able to have children naturally just like you are clearly not blessed with a little bit of kindness. Mind your business! A very much wanted little girl is growing up and being cared for in a safe and loving environment isn’t that all that matters?!
@@lightfaeries7 dude Im 20 and would rather have elderly parents that wanted me than the teenage parents that got pregnant 'naturally' and didnt look after me. Mind your own business. Emma and Pete are amazing parents.
I just read the DailyMail story about Emma and Etta-Blue. Beautiful family! Beautiful little girl!
@lightfaeries7 I'm glad that Emma and Pete don't care what you think is right or "natural."
They WANTED her, and SHE wanted them. She chose to be born to this amazing family.
Mt father was 43 when my baby sister was born. I am 22 years older than her. She is now 25 and I couldn't be closer to anyone in my life. I am her friend, her confidant, her advisor, and her big sister. I am so eternally grateful my father chose to be a dad late in life. Ironically, she is the same age as MY children. My eldest son is 6 months older than my baby sister. They are like siblings.
I have no doubt that Emma and Pete considered their ages before trying to conceive. They probably discussed it with their children and made sure they were on board as well.
My husband and I seriously considered having a child when I was 45. I sat down with both of my sons and my sister to ask how they felt about it, and would they be willing to take care of the child if we died or became unable to.
They all said yes.
At the end of the day, a beautiful baby girl was born to a beautiful family who will make sure she is raised with love, compassion, and empathy for her fellow mankind.
The fact that other staff members could hear her and didn't step in also scares me. My heart is broken for this family and for this little girl who fought so hard to be here.
This one broke my heart. How could someone be so cruel to an innocent baby?
This broke my heart, especially as a woman who wanted to be a mom, but wasn't blessed. She made a choice and I want her to receive the same mercy that she gave this sweet baby
Why on earth do they have beanbags in the baby room of a nursery?!!? 😮
I totally hear you. I worked in a private nursery and we had 12 cots in 2 different rooms for our babies. 2 yrs old and slightly over would nap on a beanbag in the early afternoon. It worked well until one kiddo woke up and then proceeded to wake all the others 😂 I can’t say that there wasn’t abuse happened there bcoz there was. But, I made myself unpopular by reporting it. 2 people lost their jobs there, and I’m not the slightest bit ashamed of my actions. They didn’t deserve to be working there 😡
@@luvintheprof
Thank you for reporting!
@@luvintheprofwhy not purchase floor mats/cots for them to sleep on? They’re inexpensive (relatively speaking), safe and stackable to put away when not in use
Even if they had dog cages it doesn't mean they are to be used...the adults could use them? I get what you're saying but still that's the least important factor in this...its not like it was a freak accident...
@jessam4875 they had cots...she chose not to use them
As a student I worked in a care home for elderly, vulnerable individuals. I loved working with the patients! The staff were AWFUL! 🤬
It makes me very angry when everyone who works with vulnerable people are portrayed as ‘saints’. I never met one who didn’t sink to the lowest, most lazy & neglectful (at best) level. I worked in private & expensive homes, decades ago. Is it better now or in NHS facilities? I don’t know…
The most depressing job i had was in an oap home in nz as a teen....i had to leave in the end. As you say...bullies...vulnerables attract them. Sadly.
This is scary , coming from you, who has seen that first hand, that’s disturbing and why are regulators not handling this neglect?
Same here in the States.
In college I with people with developmental disabilities. About a third of the employees cared, a third were totally apathetic, a third were cruel. The first two groups would move on. The cruel one were long timers because they found a population of people the could abuse freely. Unfortunately those clients were assumed to be liars or at least confused. No one believed them and staff was allowed to do what they wanted.
@@kimberleigh8345 It's extremely difficult. I think people don't want to accept how mundane bullying and abuse are. Every school, every workplace, even most families have that one person who hurts people and animals for no reason. Usually non-fatally, but it's the same attitude that can evolve into horrors like this.
this is round the corner from me, it’s absolutely disgusting , another member of staff has been arrested in regards to neglect of another child at that nursery!!!
Good! I think an investigation needs carried out on them all. The neglect and vile treatment of these babies, goodness knows what went on in their ‘care’. At least it’s been closed, but hopefully the cctv could be recovered. Was definitely more than this disgusting excuse for a person guilty of child abuse, neglect, malpractice…etc etc this poor baby was murdered, but what else has happened that they have gotten away with so far? 💔
You would of thought no one would take there kids there! Unbelievable
I thought the owners lost their license after this murder?
Thanks Emma for this. Having visited many nurseries with my job I've witnessed some harrowing care from very young girls who I would never leave a bag of spiders with. One nursery, the baby room carer shouted that she wanted to 'batter me', she also shouted that she'd 'bought her level 2 childcare course work' off ebay. In another nursery I was told by a care worker that her tutor had done her level 2 maths and English computer tests for her. When I brought things up with my line person and manager and the company owner I was made to feel like I was in the wrong and not to tell anyone. Nursery owners will overfill child places, but won't employ staff, a few bad eggs...
I also witnessed a 3 year old chopping onions with a sharp knife at a childminders, another, who spoke very little English was teaching and communicating in Romanian and another childminder couldn't be bothered to get sleep mattresses out so just let them sleep on her floor and another childminder who had something like little hammocks for the children to nap in. In one childminders house I witnessed a 2 year old asleep in a dog bed and another toddler eat dog biscuits. All the childminders were shocked when I asked them about what I thought were bad practice. I no longer work in this field.
I reported my old nursery to social services for mistreatment of a 1 Yr old boy by a member of staff, they had also locked me in the kitchen before I started kicking off. Social services acted promptly my name was mud and I was treated poorly by the new nursery staff. this was 89 but I'm glad I reported it.
It’s better to risk offending, than to stay silent, good on you xx
Good for you protecting the child. It shows you what else went on before you started. Terrible 😢

You did well to give that beautiful baby and her family a voice xxxx
All mothers should be helpwd to stay home. Nobody loves a baby like its own mum. They should get an allowance.
This is HORRIFIC. Genevieve was such a little doll. The photo of her in her little striped swim suit. What a sweetheart. I think that photo reminded me of my little sister, Carly-Maree. She had a little striped swim suit like that, except hers was pink and white. I used to love taking her for swimming lessons. Carly-Maree passed away at the start of 2020 from complications with her Lupus. She left behind a little girl, Mia, whom she loved more than anything. If she saw Genevieve up there, she would be loving her until she saw her mamma again. I'm so very sorry to Genevieve's family. Thank you for telling us her story Emma. I'm so glad I found your channel recently. You tell these people's stories with such empathy, and as a cat mamma myself, I love it when Chase makes an appearance. ❤ from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

I followed this on the BBC while was at court. Such a tragedy. RIP little one. Where were the local inspections prior to this to pick up on the staffing numbers etc?
I had to pause and cuddle my beautiful girl absolutely heartbreaking. I could never imagine how her family feel and being dead inside is how I would feel losing any child but to be taken by someone paid to keep them safe if just awful. X
I know. The guilt and grief. That poor couple.
Why would you sit and watch something like this in front of your "beautiful girl"? It's hardly child friendly viewing is it? Why don't you have cartoons or something on for her instead and watch this when she's asleep? Because if you're sat watching true crime with ur child in the room I'm sorry, ur not watching your child. Not saying on the same level as the video but, still..time and place.
@@D4ZZ4.As if she cant pause and go find her child who's in the care of another person or something like that? Use your head man
@@Miyallion 1) There was no mention of her child being in the care of someone else and 2) what I'm saying is that watching true crime in front of your child not really appropriate now is it? Save it for later when the child is asleep or not around is all I'm saying.
@@D4ZZ4. its common sense that there would be 😂 you insulted this woman based on something you made up in your head over a vague comment. Grow up and go take a nap
This is so tragic. I am a mum of 3 under 5 and have my 4th on the way and I feel so blessed that my babies stay with me until they start the school nursery at 3. This is terrifying. Her poor family. These stories are always private nurseries!
I taught 3 - 5 yo children in a nursery unit in Glasgow. In the baby room there were 3 staff. Each member looked after 3 babies. During break time there were 2 staff at all times also.
Yes the nursery my sons went to could only have 4 babies in the baby room at any time and they had 3 staff in the room if there were 4 babies and 2 staff if there were 3 or less babies but if there were babies who were unsettled they would keep the three staff if there were less than 4 children. But they never had more than 4 children in the baby room at any time.
I'm about 25 mins in. What you say about reacting to a baby cry is built in. I never had any interaction with babies and really had not held one until I my daughter at age 39 - they kind of scared me being so small. C-section but a bad one as I had an asthma attack and with no muscle control I was pumped full of drugs to try stop it. We have a "nice" family hospital photo with smiling grandparents, dad, baby...and me with my eyes rolling different directions desperately trying to avoid being sick on my recently torn apart tummy muscles! During the first night a baby was crying over and over and I was convinced despite it being a maternity ward that it was mine. I was found walking doubled up pulling my catheter stand to the nurse station only to find my little one had scoffed herself stupid and was passed out asleep.
Why didn't the other carers step in??They should also be charged to a lesser degree. Everyone is upset when a baby cries. Rated #1 troublesome thing to airplane passengers because it is distressing and there is a thwarted desire to step in..
I don't know how I missed this, I'm from Manchester also.
I worked in childcare for 17 years. I no longer do, in many settings you are often put in this position, under staffed (legally ratio for a babyroom should be 1:3), overwhelmed by lots of crying babies. Not provided adequate provisions from the setting to give children the care they deserve. I can even relate to how you can not have the same level of rapport with some children.
Often I'd be at breaking point and heart-broken, feeling like I couldn't do my job properly and give the love, care and attention they deserve, they especially need extra care in the settling in period. No matter how hard it could be, I'd never dream to take it out on an innocent child. The children are the reason I stayed so long and the only reason I found love for my job. I felt so blessed being part of so many little journeys and mile stones that I can just not fathom this general behaviour. How you can you name call a baby ffs? leave her crying for so long without a cuddle or I don't get how you can be the staff member under her and witness it first hand. 90 mins is torturously long even just leaving her to cry, nevermind restraining face down! She must have felt so abandoned. Absolutely heartbreaking! poor GiGi 💔
A working mother’s worst nightmare! 😔😢😔
As a teacher, I made a conscious decision not to have children of my own. I knew myself well enough to recognize that I put so much of myself into the children at my job, that I wouldn’t be able to come home and give my children the attention , patience, and care that they would deserve. I was subjected to social pressure, family pressure, even derision, and emotional bullying bcuz I refused to comply with what is expected of “normal women.” Unlike Roughly, I made that decision bcuz I adore children and believe they all deserve the best of care. Roughly seems to have no empathy, and downright hostility toward any children who don’t comply with her standard of compliance. Absolutely disgusting and horrifying.
The nursery should have been prosecuted
I think so too.
Agree 100%
Yes, clearly the vetting process was crap at this nursery.
i work in a nursery myself, as you said it just bewilders me that no one else came to comfort her
I'm amazed at this. What was there, 4 or 5 staff members around her when she wasn't breathing? So where were they all whilst she was screaming for her life?!!
@@duchessofhazjack4878 exactly! it’s so ridiculous! it’s scary what type of people work with children and don’t acknowledge how much of an impact being emotionally uninvolved can do! of course this case ended in such a horrific way, however even just emotionally neglecting babies and children can have such a big impact on their development
Horrified by this!!! I’m from Cheadle Hulme and did work experience at that nursery when I was 14, I remember shadowing that nursery worker. This hits very close to home 😔 I can’t even comprehend how the family feel, my heart goes out to them
How an earth was this manslaughter???
Because it wasn’t premeditated. Our justice system is a joke. She should never get out
My six month old son was a only a metre behind me in a playpen while i was cooking.I turned my back for literally less then a minute and he still managed to climb the net and fell and hit his head.It turned out fine,but i was mortified, literally mortified to the point of struggling with a fear of even falling to sleep and waking up in the middle of the night due to fear of something happening to him
I can’t begin to imagine how the parents and everyone in that courtroom felt watching that cctv evidence 😢
This is horrific! The terror that baby felt in her last moments and the fact her parents not only have to cope with the loss, but knowing HOW?! Horrendous. I can’t hear a baby or child cry, even in s movie without having a physical reaction, but that fear or pain cry? How did all of those workers ignore that innocent little baby?
I worked In a private nursery from aged 20 to 30 and I absolutely loved it, I loved seeing the children learn new things. I also learned early on that some people just shouldn't work with children, some young people even today choose childcare because they think it's easy which it certainly isn't
Why did they even have a bean bag in a nursery?!?!?!
Most striking thing to me about this is no other worker was held responsible for inaction.
They all had responsibility for safeguarding .I do not believe this is the first time she has reacted like this to a child .People havr challenged me on this sayi g they would be worried aboit thier jobs ..yes i get it but what a life ..be brave.
I retired as a Midwife 3 yrs ago after 40+ yrs experience..so get the issues...still has to be done
I agree, but she was their role model and manager. That said, I agree they are as much responsible, if they had access to the baby room and saw the child in distress.
@@Carole.Pyes if others saw and heard and did nothing they are just as responsible
Where was the other worker that was supposed to be taking care of the babies. You would have to hold me back if I found a baby being treated this way.
When you said "she came over to her and pulled the blanket over her head" the amount of rage and sadness I felt through my body was unmatched. I don't have children myself but have always been surrounded by and helped look after my nieces and nephews. Its common fucking sense and a nursery worker should know better. This was callous, pathetic jealousy towards and innocent baby. Disgusting vile woman. I myself grew up in a poor household and when I see children growing up in a privilaged and well cared for environment I feel nothing but happiness for them and wish the best childhood environment for for all children. This was easily preventable.
I've worked in many nurseries (UK) and it's the exact reason why my children won't go to one. My son didn't go to one until he was 3 and it was a school nursery and my daughter will do the same. Once you've seen what the staff are like when the parents aren't there it'll change your mind forever 😢
I had my heart set on being a Nursery nurse as I grew up. I started as soon as I left school at 16, I tried 2 different Nurseries as an apprentice and both were AWFUL. I'm 37 now and I still have flashbacks to how horrible it was and the treatment of the kids. They were so unhappy and neglected and all used to clamber to be with me. I was 16, not fully qualified , and I was left in a baby room on my own! I had no idea what I was doing!.... the staff were bitchy, sarcastic, bitter and basically just bullies who resented the kids. One woman used to bring skimpy outfits in for her nights out after work and change into them like she was doing some kind of fashion show. She was so rough. The kids HATED her. I had my boys in my 20s and they only went to the school nursery at 3 also. I personally knew the woman who works there and manages it and she's like Miss Honey, every kid who goes to Nursery should get Miss Honey's!!!
@@duchessofhazjack4878I went into a setting one day in a professional capacity and before I was seen I was privy to a conversation between two staff who had small children sitting on their knees. My first thought was ‘ that’s sweet’ until I heard one of them describing to the other one how she had given her boyfriend a b*** j** in the porch of his parents house the night before. I informed the manager who giggled and said she would ‘have a word’ with her. It was very obvious to me that it wasn’t taken seriously.
I found one which is accepting parents as volunteers. It's changing perspective I guess
@@katieblue3373 this will be because we are desperately short of qualified nursery nurses. The money is so bad, the workload increasing with an influx is SEND children that they’ll have unqualified people working with children whose parents pay a fortune for qualified appropriate care. Way to go!
The employer is also responsible for having such a high ratio of staff to babies.
She is vile, makes me so angry 😡 how can anyone not get on with a baby????? Disgusting human I’m so sad for that little girl and her family 😢
It's a shame we need to leave babies with strangers in the first place
Not all parents have the luxury of raising their kids amongst their primary support system.
@@BeckBeckGo That's my point really - it's a shame that you're in that situation along with many.
Thanks so much for covering this Emma 😢 I'm in training to become a nursery worker in my second year at college in Scotland. I have 2 daughters of my own and my first priority of the children in my care is safety. I can't believe someone in this profession could do this 😭 I feel so sad 😞 ❤
I remember the beast , when she was sat in court and she showed up on camera, it was shocking "That thing" showed no empathy whatsoever. Absolutely shocking.
A very unfriendly face. Taking out her personal issues on innocent defenceless babies. Lowest of the low.
Yeah me too, I remember thinking she exuded lack of warmth, just as a human let alone a child care worker! Vile individual all round
Maybe she’s a psychopath? Can’t feel empathy, remorse, guilt. No conscience.
Traumatic loss makes you forever a vastly different person in so many ways. I can remember who I was, like a dear friend from childhood…
This has absolutely broken my heart. Tears started when I heard that her head was also covered with a blanket. My heart breaks for that family 💔
Rest in peace, beautiful Genevieve 😢 xx
As for you, Roughly - may you never rest or have peace. I hope every dream is a nightmare and you feel eternal fire
Only 14 years?! Maybe she didn't have a criminal record because she'd never been caught, until now. I can't accept that she hadn't ever done this, prior to now. She shows NO remorse?! Shame on her!!
Poor sweet baby girl, I suspect gorgeous Genoveve is sitting in all of our hearts. Such an absolute betrayal and an absolutely avoidable tragedy.
This why you cannot let other people raise your kids. Daycare should be the absolute last option ever. Unless you cannot possibly under any circumstances stay with your baby don't do it. Not blaming the mother of course, blaming the way society has normalised this.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
This! What the hell is the point in having children, if the parents have to farm them out for complete strangers to look after.
No one will love your children like you do. Mine did not go to nursery until they were 3 and able to tell me if something was wrong. However, I would have liked not to have been expected to send them at all. Luckily all was fine, but I completely agree, parents should be able to afford to look after their own children in their early and most formative years.
@@k_j_n1242 Totally agree.
So if you don't have the luxury of being able to live off a sole breadwinner, don't have kids then?
@@NeverAgain507 Childcare is more expensive than a lot of jobs. There could be a situation where you absolutely need to but almost all of them are not that.
As an ex daycare teacher (USA) a beanbag being in an infant OR toddler room (before I think room age 3) would be a penalty during inspection!
Whoever owned the nursery is also culpable...5 babies to one carer is too many. I bet the parents werent aware of the understaffing...and poor selection of staff.
Is there a law on numbers. Surely 3 is maximum.
Those owners are very culpable. They’ve gone to ground in their chateau in France. They’ve hung their poorly paid staff out to dry but I’m sure were charging a LOT and lied about how many staff they had per babies.
In NZ here I was a Home-based Childcarer. My ratio was 4 children, only 2 under 2 at any time. Not sure if ratios differ in centers or in UK.
What an absolute monster!!!
i work in a baby room at a nursery. 1:3 is the ratio in a baby room. two members of staff for 11 babies is absolutely ridiculous and should have been fixed asap
It must have been horrendous for the jury to have to watch that footage. I hope the judge discharged them all from jury service for life. RIP GiGi. Her poor parents will never get over this .
Some people stay in their job too long. She was a manager, so other staff will have followed her actions.
I’m a paediatric nurse, but many years ago I worked in a lovely nursery in SW London. Legally, we were a ratio of one staff to two babies under 18 months, so I’ve no idea how this place was allowed to practice with their ratio, surely that was unsafe.
That poor child, It’s heartbreaking to imagine her last moments.
That's what I thought. My sister is a childminder and definitely is not allowed to have that many babies. She's only allowed so many that are 2 years old or younger I believe. When she said there were 11 babies I was so confused. It should have never happened!
@@lynsey4224 I imagine they were working that way, but the authorities were of the impression there were more staff. I’m surprised parents aren’t aware when dropping the babies off, you would usually be greeted by the staff in that particular room.
This is why I think having babies just to pass them to the nursery straightaway is not a good idea. If you cannot sacrifice your career till they are able to talk and explain if something is wrong do not have children.
Knowing two workers that worked there including Roughly’s best mate it’s harrowing, there is so much more to this story regarding another worker and it’s making me so sick knowing that i was friends with them in school, all my love goes to Gigi’s family x
As a mum of two young children - one who is still in nursery - this story has really impacted me. Her poor family. Her sister's impact statement brought me to tears. I wish so much for the family to heal and find some peace if possible. 🤍
Safe sleep is so important and listening to you describe how this poor little baby was treated made my blood run cold. We trust childcare workers with our most precious pretty ones. I hope the perpetrator is treated with the same/worse distain every single day of her prison sentence.
RIP Geegee 🤍
Cases like these absolutely boil my blood. As someone who works in a nursery I can’t imagine ever hurting one of the kids I work with. I understand it can be a frustrating environment but your the adult go and take a breather. The children never are there to annoy you. And I 1000% think it should be law that in every nursery room there should be cameras. If you’ve got nothing to hide then you won’t be upset with wanting to take extra precautions to prevent abuse or injury.
I worked in a private nursery for ages 1year- 4.
It was small groups, safe environment, healthy meals. And all staff absolutely loved their job and taking care of little ones.
Perhaps I was lucky. But my son been in 3 nurseries in his life and he loved each of them
What truly surprised me is- where was other staff?! If i seen someone doing it to child we supposed to take care of. I would def come and help that child and tell off who ever did that ( wouldnt care if its a manager or the owner of nursery)
It is so frustrating that people with no empathy, patience or kindness end up in professions of care. This is just horrible. And where were the coworkers?? RIP sweet Genevieve 💕
When I had my first son, I struggled with a lot of things. One of the health visitors told me 'A baby can't fall from the floor'. When it got too much I used to place my son on the floor, rug or carpet, on his back and take a step back for a short while.
Emma, I worked in Carehomes witnessed some awful cruelty..reported to CQC..named names whistle BLEW..guess what i was LET GO manager of that Home said "I DIDNT FIT WITH THE ETHICS OF THAT HOME" ha..i had such guilt about not being able to get the rotten core of those 'so-called' carers..still makes my blood boil.
So sad its still happening (((
Thinking about this tiny wee baby being swaddled and placed down on a beanbag almost induced a panic attack!! Those poor poor parents having to hear the facts about the workers negligence; the murder of their baby! RIP little one 💔
Modern life is such a nightmare for parents. Daycare is scarce and extremelt expensive, and if you can get in, you dont know what sort of treatment your child is getting.
I am so grateful my husband and i were able to make it work for me to stay at home. I work parttime freelancing. We are significantly poorer for it, but its worth it.
At 10 months old my daughter had her heart set on scaling the outside of our wooden staircase! She was a little monkey! She could quite literally “run before she could walk”! 😮
Did anyone look into the possibility that either of Genevieve's parents had ever prosecuted a friend or relative of roughly and that's why she was so abusive to that poor precious little girl?
I actually have a far out connection to Genevieve Meehan's Grandmother. I couldn't believe this happened when I heard. I don't have or want kids myself but I would never, ever harm a child; I have nieces and nephews whom I love and would stand in harms way to protect them, as I would any child. This case makes me outraged! That poor lil baby, how on earth could they do that!? Of course a baby is going to suffocate in those circumstances! How on earth did the other person in the room not know what is going on or how did they just allow that? My heart breaks for Genevieve's parents. Rest in peace little angel x
Swaddling a 9 month old baby is entirely inappropriate unless you are wearing that baby. Swaddling is useful for newborns and very young babies because it feels rather like being in the womb. It’s NEVER for restraint. How sickening.
I live half an mile from this nursery, and work in children's services, so I am aware of this case...very very sad and preventable x
So sad, my heart aches for this family and sweet Genevieve. She is a hero and has done more in her nine months on earth and for every day beyond, than most do in an 80 yr lifetime. She has saved countless children from abuse and horrific neglect….and potential deaths from not only this “nursery” but many others that might hear her story and put in place better care/guidelines. Fly high little superhero! Love and comfort to Gigi’s family until they can all meet again. Love from Canada. Xxx
Emma your coverage of this case was so heartfelt and this beautiful baby’s last moments just broke my heart ..you are a true inspiration and honest voice to so many families..thank you xo

A huge virtual hug from me to you ❤ 258K subscribers and growing 👏👏👏 No channel comes close.🩷🩷💙💙💙💙 Huge Fan Bravo 🙌
They need to sue the nursery!!!!
What was the other worker doing? Why didn't she put a stop to this? Kate did the worst of it, but the other care worker had a responsibility to that baby too.
I worked in nurseries for 7 years mainly baby room 6 weeks to 2 years old. Yes to an extent crying can go on for hours especially when you have 7 babies crying at your feet at the same time, most are confused as to where their parents are or why the baby next to them is also crying BUT you NEVER ignore the crying or cover the babies up! You care for each baby to soothe them even if it takes your whole shift you are paid and trained to care for them! And I believe that the other staff should've been held accountable too minimum for neglect, even if they were worried for their job and the abuser being your deputy manager or not, you have a duty of care! I would've rather lost my job 10 times over than lost a baby in my care. And i reported my manager it was awkward yes but ratios and child safety matter! I hope GG has the best bed in heaven, absolutely gutted for her parents and family 💔 Emma showed compassion and love for GG throughout ❤ that just shows how caring a stranger can be towards a baby, shame that monster didnt treat her the same 😢
I was reading up on this case recently and hoping you'd cover it. I just don't understand how she wasn't charged with murder. Surely she knew what the outcome of her actions would be?
This is my worst nightmare - she was trusted to care for her. As a mother who had to use nurseries for my son this is absolutely harrowing to hear 😢
That little girl is absolutely adorable, and how anyone could look at her and want to harm her is astonishing. To hear a baby crying and not want to cuddle, protect, and look after them is unbelievable, but to hear the kind of distress Emma is talking about and do nothing makes her inhuman. RIP Genevieve, precious angel ❤❤
Who the hell puts a baby upside down in a beanbag? Even un swaddled it’s really difficult to turn over. Horrifying!!! Xxx
I couldnt have watched that and done nothing. The other staff member is also to blame. Evil by crime and evil by ignorance.
Bet you anything her abusive behavior slowly escalated with these babies until she abused one to death. There's no way this was the first time. She liked "being in charge" of the babies room because her victims couldn't speak for themselves. Absolute tragedy.
This case is horrific poor family 😢it was in the press a few weeks ago that someone else from the same nursery has been charged with neglect not in relation to the same case. Sounds an awful place
I’ve never had children, I’ve never wanted children. If I’m honest I don’t even like children but this broke me! This poor baby girl and her loving family. This story is literally heartbreaking 💔 Where was the other person who was meant to be in the baby area whilst all this was happening? I have never felt so sad and angry at the same time. I hope this monster gets her just deserts in prison. I’m not religious but I hope this family find the strength to get through the living hell they’re going through and ultimately it brings them closer together.
What the hell where the other people working there doing this is unbelievable
They were all in it.
My daughter has attended nursery since she was 9 months old, she's now 2 and is thriving. I could never imagine going through this, especially seeing as the parents vetted the nursery before picking this one. This has created a hate towards nurseries and working parents, even though this is rare and it is one person out of a million nursery workers who are amazing! But I am glad it has been highlighted that this can happen!
Such a gorgeous sweet baby. This is such a devastating story. Heartbroken for that innocent beautiful baby and her loved ones 💔😢
OMG, this one really had the waterworks going strong. That poor family and poor Genevieve. Hownhorrific it would be to drop your baby off at daycare, thinking all is well and to find out your poor child was being abused and then killed by their caretaker. I couldn’t handle it. My heart goes out to her family. Amazing coverage as usual! ❤❤❤❤
That sweet baby. What a disgusting human being. 😢 As a mom, this is one of my worst fears. One of the reasons why I stay home with my kids.
