Baby girl showed 'genuine fear' after being strapped her down at Stockport nursery

A jury was told a baby girl was in ‘genuine fear’ as a nursery worker strapped her face down on a bean bag prior to her death.

She then fastened a strap across Genevieve's back before she later placed another cover over her, prosecutors allege. “The basics are the ABC of safe sleep - Always put your baby on their back in a clear cot,” Dr Garstang said. “It is safe in the provision they are sleeping on a firm, flat surface - by that I mean a cot mattress.”

She told jurors a bean bag was ‘not a safe space’ for a baby to sleep because it is soft and could block their airways or make them 'very hot'.Particularly if a baby is on their front, face down, because the bean bag moulds themselves around them. Speaking about CCTV footage showing Ms Roughley's interactions with the child, Dr Garstang said: “There seemed to be rough handling, a lack of care, a lack of love - nurturing care."
