The devastated parents of baby Genevieve Meehan, lovingly known as Gigi, are taking action after losing their daughter in the most tragic and avoidable of circumstances. Gigi was just nine months old when she died at Tiny Toes Nursery in Stockport in May 2022, a place her parents had trusted with her care.
The woman responsible, nursery worker Kate Roughley, was sentenced to 14 years in prison last year after being found guilty of manslaughter. During the trial, Manchester Crown Court heard that she had swaddled Gigi, strapped her face down onto a bean bag, and left her completely unattended for 90 minutes. What’s even more horrifying is that Roughley had shown “hostility” toward Gigi in the days before her death. She was the deputy manager and baby room leader at the time, reported the Express.
