Delaware Man Arrested After Infant Son Dies From Head Trauma
May 14, 2014 1:00 PM

REHOBOTH, Del. (CBS) – Police have arrested a 21-year-old man after one of his young twin sons died due to head trauma.

Police say in the morning of Saturday, May 10, Sidney G. Davis III called 911 to report his 3-month-old son was not breathing. Paramedics and EMS crews responded to a room at the Sea Esta Motel #4 on Coastal Highway and were able to re-establish a heartbeat at that time.

Upon further examination it was revealed that the baby suffered a traumatic brain bleed, which likely caused him to become unconscious. The infant was flown to A.I. DuPont Hopsital where was listed in critical condition that night.

The next day the baby was pronounced dead. The Office of the Chief Media Examiner performed an autopsy and ruled the cause and manner of death to be homicide due to head trauma.

On Tuesday, family members brought Davis to be interviewed by detectives. It was determined that the baby and his twin brother were in the care of Davis Friday night into Saturday while the mother was away. The baby became upset Friday night and was crying when Davis allegedly began shaking the infant in an attempt to make him quiet.

The shaking allegedly happened once again on Saturday morning just after the mother of the twins briefly visited with them in the room before leaving for work.

It was after the second incident that Davis called for help once the baby became unresponsive.

Davis was arraigned on the charge of Murder by Neglect or Abuse and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $100,000 cash bond.

The other baby twin was unharmed during the incidents and is now in the care of his mother.

Bradenton man charged in deadly shaken baby case
Posted: Jul 01, 2014 2:50 AM PST Updated: Jul 01, 2014 4:32 AM PST

NORTH PORT, FL (WFLA) -

A Bradenton man is charged with manslaughter in connection with a shaken baby case.

Investigators say at 10 p.m. on June 27, North Port Police responded to 5300 block of Dunsmuir Road at the request of the North Port Fire Department for an 11-month-old male child who was in need of medical attention.

The baby was in critical condition with injuries consistent with "violent trauma" according to an arrest affidavit. The baby, Jai shin Vinson, was taken to All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg. The affidavit also said that a doctor at the hospital said the infant suffered head injuries that were caused by a continued violent shaking motion. The baby died at the hospital on June 30.

The child's mother told police she left the baby with Bryant Carter, 25, when she went to a liquor store. She returned about 20 minutes later as Carter was leaving. He told her the baby was in a deep sleep and she should not wake him, according to the arrest affidavit.

The child's mother called 911 after finding her child slumped over, cold, and not breathing.

Posted 12:56 am, September 26, 2014

WESTMORELAND COUNTY, Va. – An 11-month-old baby girl was left in critical condition after she was shaken, according to Westmoreland County Sheriff’s investigators.

However, Westmoreland County Commonwealth’s Attorney said investigators believed the baby’s injuries were not accidental. Lewis Kelly was soon charged with aggravated malicious wounding and felony child neglect.

The Commonwealth’s Attorney said it appeared to be a case of shaken baby and that the child was left with permanent brain damage.

Dad admits to shaking 2-month-old daughter to death in emotional confession
By Emily Saul

A Brooklyn man on trial for allegedly shaking his baby daughter to death broke down and tearfully admitted to the incident in a videotaped confession, which was revealed for the first time Tuesday.

Jurors watched Eryk Ford, now 23, tell Brooklyn Assistant DA Joan Erskine that he became upset at about 4 a.m. one say in January 2012 when his 2-month-old daughter, Aniyah, wouldn’t stop “fussing” while he was playing video games.

“I got aggravated, and shook her four or five times,” the then-19-year-old eventually confessed in the emotional footage. “And then I threw her in the car seat.”

One juror in Brooklyn Supreme Court was seen wiping away tears.

Ex-con arrested for shaking baby son, leaving him brain-dead

An ex-con was busted for shaking his 6-month-old son so forcefully that the tot was left brain-dead, cops said.

Statwaun Gilmore, 24, was arrested Thursday afternoon on child endangerment and assault charges, police said.

Little Gianni Gilmore was taking a nap inside an apartment on Gates Avenue near Marcy Avenue in Bed-Stuy around 5:50 p.m. Tuesday when his father found him unresponsive, with green fluid coming out of his nose, police sources said.

The baby’s maternal grandmother, Jacqueline Saintangle, came home from work to check on the boy — only to find the infant’s limp body.

“My grandson was in the bed,” Saintangle said. “I picked him up. My grandson, he couldn’t hold his head up.”

“I tell [Gilmore], ‘You killed my baby.’”

She insisted that he immediately call 911.

“I said, ‘Why didn’t you call before I come home?’” Saintangle said.

Gianni’s uncle — his mother’s brother — also desperately tried to save the tot.

“I rushed in, grabbed the baby out of my mom‘s hands and started giving it CPR,” said the brother, who declined to give his name.

Responding EMS personnel rushed the infant to Woodhull Medical Center, cops said. He was later moved to NYU Medical Center, where he was placed on life support and remained Friday morning.

The tot’s injuries were “consistent with” having been shaken, police said.

Both parents were initially questioned in connection to the incident — as they blamed each other for the child’s death, police sources said. The baby’s mother was no longer being questioned, cops said on Friday.

Cops were called to the home for one previous domestic incident report — for a dispute between the couple, police said. There were no prior child abuse incidents.

Saintangle claimed Gilmore once “choked my daughter and punched her in the mouth.”

Gilmore was on parole for an attempted robbery in 2013, corrections records show. He also had four previous busts for grand larceny, police said.

The death of a 1-year-old Brooklyn boy has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Friday.

Cops responding to a 911 call discovered little Aidenn Joyette unconscious and unresponsive at his family’s home on Winthrop Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens around 10 a.m. Tuesday, officials said.

Medics then rushed the child to NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.

The tot’s mother told police that she went to bed the night before and when she awoke Tuesday morning, Aidenn was not breeving, so she called the cops, police said.

Police sources said there is a history of domestic violence at the home, but it was unclear who it involved.

Sources added that Aidenn’s mother will be questioned in the boy’s death.

Four other children, ages 4, 7, 16 and 18, live in the Brooklyn home, sources said.

“Our top priority is protecting the safety and well-being of all children in New York City,” the city’s Administration for Children’s Services said in a statement. “We are investigating this case with NYPD, and we have taken action to secure the safety of the other children in this home.”

New York nanny gets 6-month jail term for violently shaking baby, causing tot to seizure​

A New York nanny was slapped with a six-month sentence Monday after she shook a baby boy in her care so severely he suffered a seizure, turned blue and started vomiting, prosecutors said.
White Plains resident Nija Woodbury, 23, was handed down the prison rap by Judge Maurice Williams more than a year after she rattled the 3-month-old’s body and then put the pint-size victim back in his crib, the Westchester District Attorney’s Office said.
The incident left the child’s mother overwhelmed with guilt and shaken in fear for allowing the White Plains nanny into her home.
The mother, who was in another room, spotted the baby in an awkward position in the crib on Jan. 10, 2023, and raced to the bedroom.
She immediately called 911 when the newborn started seizing and turned blue. He eventually became unresponsive.
During the panicked few minutes, Woodbury was in the room with the mother and didn’t utter a word about what she had just done to the baby, prosecutors said. On the way to the Westchester Medical Center, the baby continued to seize and vomit.

“The defendant endangered the life of a defenseless baby and also traumatized a family who had entrusted her with the care of their child,” Westchester District Attorney Mimi Rocah said in a statement. “This sentence ensures some measure of accountability for her reckless actions.”


The baby suffered bilateral subdural hematomas and bilateral retinal hemorrhages – which indicate he was shaken, the district attorney’s office said. He was in the pediatric intensive care unit for abusive head trauma for a week.


Mount Pleasant police arrested the family’s nanny three days later after unearthed texts revealed she was frustrated when the baby couldn’t stop crying. She then admitted to the shocking conduct when confronted with the damning texts.

Westchester DA Mimi Rocah said the sentence ensured the nanny would face consequences for her actions. westchesterda
Woodbury pleaded guilty to reckless assault of a child, a felony, last July. On top of the six-month prison term, she was sentenced to five years of probation.





The child’s mother said in court before sentencing she has been wrought with guilt because she welcomed Woodbury into her home to care for “what I hold most dear, my precious baby.”


“Before this event, I never thought that someone was capable of doing this…I used to always believe that people are innately good and that I can trust my intuition–I now no longer feel that way,” the parent said in her statement.
