James Simons-
A mental nanny was for four years after violently shaking a baby in a moment of madness.
34 year old Victoris Tautz list the plot and violently shook young Joshua Paul, who was only ten months old.
She had been kept in charge of the baby in Haringey, North London , but abused her position of trust by her actions. The baby collapsed and died within half hour due to the catastrophic brain and spinal injuries through excessive shaking. Tautz was unqualified to babysit and clearly lacked the patience or discipline to handle the challenges posed by an infant that young. Working mothers in need of babysitters often gamble in their choice , selecting babysitters from their pool of friends , or from any random a quotable offers.

Tautz, an EU national, denied getting angry or frustrated with the baby, but the evidence suggests otherwise. The jury spent seven hours of deliberation before returning a ten to two majority in favour of convicting her . The evidence was circumstantial but there was no plausible alternative explanation to the fatal injuries sustained by the todler. The lesson to be learnt is for parents to be very careful and selective of who they choose to look after their child . All nanny’s are expected to be decent and responsible, until knowledge of mental health issues come to light. The presence of mental illness is not always evident , but anybody who malhandles an infant and caused their death cannot be well upstairs .
