WOMAN ACCIDENTLY KILLS BABY WHILE SWINGING HIM ROUND AND ROUND

http://www.wfsb.com/news/15040483/detail.html

HARTFORD, Conn. -- A toddler has died from a severe head injury he
suffered when his baby sitter swung him around in a sleeping bag for fun
and it accidentally hit a wall, Hartford police said.

Elijah Gasque, who was just barely 19 months old, was brain dead at
about noon at Connecticut Children's Medical Center after being injured
Friday evening in his home on Main Street, police said. The boy was kept
on life support overnight as doctors prepared his body for organ
donation.

The baby sitter, Yalines Torres, 25, of Hartford, was charged with risk
of injury to a minor and reckless endangerment early Saturday morning
before the boy died. Police said additional charges were expected. She
remains held on a $500,000 bond.

The boy's mother, who is single and works during the day, met Torres
because they live in the same building. Neighbors said the charges came
as a surprise.

"She was very good with kids," said Guillermo Romero, a neighbor.

"When I see her with her kids, they seemed perfectly fine. So, you would
trust her as a mother," said Darnell Evans, a neighbor.

Other residents who live in the same building said Torres recently broke
up with her boyfriend and required medical attention for depression.

The boy's grandmother, Debra Needham, told Eyewitness News that her
daughter regrets leaving her son with Torres.

"She put my grandson in a sleeping bag and she swung it around her head
and she let it go and let his head hit the metal door frame, fracturing
his rear skull," Needham said.

Hartford police Sgt. Edward Yergeau told The Hartford Courant that the
incident was an accident and Torres was not trying to harm the child.

"(The boy's mother) is going through every emotion of grief. She's up
there still clinging to his bedside until they take him to the
(operating room)," Needham said. "She can't leave. She feels like she's
leaving her baby again."
