To NA - I wondered the same thing when I first heard that but my niece had a metal pole fall on her head and had a major concussion but there was no sign on her that anything had happened - not even any bruising. Her doctor told my sister that sometimes, with head injuries, that's the way it is. Also, I would have to imagine that all that was taken into account by the doctors and at the trial.

AMS - good for you! It is amazing to me that anyone would try to defend what Rebecca Polomaine did to that poor child, Riley. She may not have been a monster, but obviously she was in over her head and she snapped. She needs to pay and now she will. She should feel very fortunate that she did not receive a life sentence like the one she gave to Riley and her family. By the way, "stay at home, PTO moms" do bad things to their own children all the time - read the newspaper ShellyMay!

Poor women??? - are you kidding? What about poor Riley who will never be the same again? There was a lot of evidence against Polomaine and just the fact that she was a daycare provider and supposedly did not know how this child was injured in her home is bad enough. Also, the fact that she took time in calling an ambulance - my 7yr old would know better than that. I feel badly for her children as well, but with a mother like that they are far better off.
