Daycare Workers Are Charged After Baby Girl Is Strangled

Leaving your child in the hands of someone else can be a tough position for any parent.

This is especially true when you don’t know the caretaker very well, but you want to trust that they will take good care of your loved one.

While there are undoubtedly countless loving and responsible sitters out there to choose from, hearing stories like this next one will make you think twice about who you hire to be around your kids.

Much like the heartbroken parents who lost their 1-year-old child at daycare after they were suffocated by a bean bag chair, the parents of 11-month-old Taliah Brigham are finally getting justice for their baby girl.

On April 6, 2016, police officers rushed to Miracles and Blessings Daycare Ministry in Speedway, Indiana to find daycare workers standing over the baby girl and rubbing her abdomen. According to reports by police, the girl was blue and not breathing and there was a stain below her of formula mixed with the baby’s blood.

This August, employee Karen Tharpe and daycare owner Jacqueline Murray were charged with felony neglect for the baby’s death months after Tharpe made the decision to put Taliah in a car seat, causing her death. Tharpe buckled the baby in the infant car seat around her chest, but not her legs, causing her to squirm out and become strangled.

“A car seat is not the best way to secure your child unless you are in a car,” Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said at a news conference. She also explained that one adult can not properly care for over 30 kids, who one parent that called the police after dropping off something at the daycare observed were spread out in three different rooms.

Taliah had only started attending the daycare eight days before the accident. Her father, Troyel Brigham told WishTV he just wishes he could hold her one last time.

“Even though I lost that star, I still have it, because she is is still within me,” he said. “I still wish that she was still here. But I will live my life through her. I will never forget her.”
