A Stamford daycare owner is facing manslaughter and risk of injury charges after police said a 2-month-old baby girl died in her care.
Police said 34-year-old Nydia Carrillo-Maldonado was taking care of Bella Redondo back in July at her Wardell Street daycare called Little Bears Beginnings.
Authorities said Redondo was rushed to the hospital on July 12 after she had trouble breathing. The infant died after hours of resuscitation attempts.
Detectives discovered Redondo had suffered from blunt force trauma to the head and later arrested the daycare owner.
"They're struggling but so far they're grateful for law enforcement for working so quickly on this," said the infant's family attorney Mark Sherman.
"I just hope the parents of the child and what they are going through... To lose a two-month-old baby.... It's just sad. No words to say," said neighbor Bob Green.
Carrillo-Maldonado’s bail has been set $200,000 and will appear back in court on Sept. 22.
