«Breaking News» Baltimore daycare worker pleads guilty to killing eight-month-old girl

A daycare worker has pleaded guilty to killing an eight-month-old girl by smothering her with a blanket because she wouldn't go to sleep.

Leah Walden, 24, admitted the murder of Reese Bowman at Rocket Tiers Learning Center in Baltimore in May 2017 at a court hearing on Tuesday.

Walden was sentenced to 70 years in prison for the horrifying killing and sobbed during her sentencing hearing, while telling the court how she had snapped after not being given the training or assistance needed for her job.  

Assistant State's Attorney Anne Colt Leitess said Walden had told a co-worker, 'Girl, I'm frustrated. I'm sick of this little b****. I hate this little b****. She makes me want to punch her in the face.'

The court heard that Walden returned from lunch to Rocket Tiers Learning Center just east of downtown and found baby Reese would not sleep.

She then slapped the baby before pinning her down and piling the blankets over her face, suffocating baby Reese.

Walden initially claimed she had fed the baby and put her in a crib for a nap before coming back 45 minutes later to find the girl unresponsive.

But her argument unraveled after the center's CCTV told a different story.

Walden was seen covering the baby with 'excessive blankets for long periods of time'.

She was also filmed covering the child's face with a pillow, violently snatching the baby and slapping her.

The city’s Criminal Investigations Chief Stanley Bradford told the Baltimore Sun how Walden was seen ‘violently snatching the child out of the crib with one arm, swinging at the baby as if she was slapping her, and placing pillows over the baby’s face.’ 

He added: ‘Watching that video is disturbing. Reese Bowman, in my opinion, was tortured.’

Rocket Tiers was shut down after Reese’s death. 

In a statement at the time of the incident last year, Baltimore Police said it appeared the baby was awake at the time of the assault. 

Stanley Bradford, head of Baltimore's homicide unit, said: 'To me, and all of us who are parents, when we look at something like that, there's no explanation to give.

'It's just evil. I mean what motive is there to treat a baby that way? 

'From what I saw, why would you treat an 8-month-old baby, or any child for that matter, in that manner?' 

The Rocket Tiers Learning Center in Baltimore where the incident took place has since shut down

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
