"Stacey Lee Snow, 53, pleaded not guilty earlier this month to involuntary manslaughter in the death of the 16-month-old girl, who authorities said was found unresponsive after she had been put down for a nap April 8. The Medical Examiner's Office concluded that the girl asphyxiated, and the report indicated she'd had her head wedged between a plastic cot placed on top of a portable crib and the crib railing."
"The narrative provided in an autopsy report from the Medical Examiner's Office obtained earlier this year indicates the daycare owner said she put the child down for a nap in a portable crib around 10:30 a.m. and had placed a cover with a mesh center on top of the crib in case the child tried to get out. According to the report, the daycare provider checked on the child a half-hour later and found her asleep."
Stacey Lee Snow, 53, pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and is also charged with child abuse following the death of a 16-month-old girl in her care. The Medical Examiner concluded the child asphyxiated, finding her head wedged between a plastic cot placed atop a portable crib and the crib railing. The daycare owner said she put the child down for a nap around 10:30 a.m., checked a half-hour later, and later found the child blue and unresponsive about 11:30 a.m. The child's mother filed a negligence and wrongful-death lawsuit against Snow and Snow Angels Childcare and Preschool. Snow faces up to six years if convicted; a preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 18.
