A nanny shook the three-month-old baby. The baby was the son of two police officers. He was shook so violently he suffered severe brain damage and died. There was a court hearing yesterday. His parents were on a break, while the baby, Isaac Rowlinson was taken to hospital while being looked after by his nanny, Linda Wise. When the parents, Paul and Lisa Rowlinson, came home from there break, they found their son in a coma in hospital, with bleeding on his brain. There son died of an epileptic fit at the age of 13-months. Linda Wise went on trial yesterday, she was accused of killing Isaac. The jury, were told that from his birth, Isaac was a sick child who had difficulty keeping down food. After a lot of research and test, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the baby. The family decided to hire Linda to help with the baby. The jury were told that Wise dialed 999 shortly before 7am. At this the time the parent where in the Lake District. Linda called 999 after becoming concerned that Isaac was not eating, he was not responding and his right leg was twitching. Isaac went in to a coma and a scan showed bleeding on his brain. Although Isaac survived and went home he died of an epileptic fit, brought on by his brain damage. Post-mortem examination showed that the brain injury was consistent with being shaken. Linda denies…

That is quite the story, poor baby, poor parents, poor babysitter, poor everyone… so lest get the facts straight, Isaac, the baby, was already sick. He did not hold down his food, but the doctors did not find anything wrong with him. The parent, who are both police officers, hired Linda to help out with the baby, because the mother was not able to cope so well with her son being sick. As the parents went on a break, the baby went in a coma and had an epileptic fit. He was discharged, but died a short time later and the damage he had was consistent with heavily shaking of the baby. I don not think I left much out, but there are either two options… one the baby did die because he had a shaking from his nanny, or the nanny is innocent and Isaac died op brain damage. I think that if the nanny is guilty why would she call 999? Or she did shake the baby and then after seeing him twice, she got scared and called 999. Who knows what really happened? I know one thing, the parents should not go on a break leaving there baby with a stranger. The trial is expected to last six weeks, so we will just have to wait on the jury’s ruling...
