Manslaughter Denver Lawyer | Daycare Provider Charged with Manslaughter

Posted by Unknown | Dec 09, 2016 | 0 Comments

Watching children can be a daunting task, especially if you become distracted or overwhelmed. In one sad story, an unlicensed daycare provider is facing charges of Manslaughter after the death of a 6-month-old child. Police were called to the daycare provider's home because of reports of a child not breathing. The daycare provider was distraught and led them to the baby, who was lying on a rug, not breathing. The daycare provider told police she put the child in a car seat for a nap, but the girl slid down and ended up with a strap around her neck, strangling her. At the time of the child's death, the daycare provider had nine other children in her care. In today's blog, we'll discuss charges of Manslaughter, C.R.S. 18-3-104, in more detail.
