A 3-year-old girl died after suffering blunt force trauma injuries. Days later, Michigan prosecutors came after the girl’s babysitter with charges in connection to her death after allegedly trying to cover it up.
On March 17, officials from the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office say Paris England and Marquise Henderson sought a babysitter to watch Harmoni, their autistic, non-verbal toddler. England decided to leave the child with her friend, Iesha Harris, who lived on the west side of Detroit. It’s unclear how much time Harmoni was to spend with the sitter but not even 24 hours had passed before the unthinkable happened.
Prosecutors say that night, Harris locked the girl and her own 1-year-old child in a bedroom so she could go smoke marijuana with her friends. Harmoni’s parents told FOX 2 Detroit their baby girl was locked in that room for three hours.
Upon going back into the room, the report says Harris discovered Harmoni vomited on herself. In response, prosecutors allege Harris went on a rampage and doused the little girl with boiling hot water and slamming her head into the side of the bathtub.
