Public outrage has erupted in Minnesota after an 18-year-old daycare worker allegedly confessed to suffocating two infants in her care, telling investigators she did it because 'she wanted attention'. One baby survived the alleged attacks, while 11-month-old Harvey Muklebust died just days before his first birthday, according to police.

Authorities say Theah Loudemia Russell was arrested following a three-month investigation into multiple incidents at Rocking Horse Ranch, a childcare facility in Savage. Russell had been employed at the centre for only three weeks at the time of the alleged crimes.
