A Riverside woman has been charged with first-degree murder after a toddler she was babysitting suffered a fatal head injury, according to authorities.
The investigation began April 26, when the Riverside County coroner's office notified the Beaumont Police Department of a 15-month-old who had suffered a head injury while under the care of a babysitter in the 14200 block of Barolo Way. The babysitter said the child fell while running, police said.
The child was taken to a hospital for head swelling and brain bleeding, but later died.
