Was an autopsy done??? If so, was there "snacks" in the child's stomach? If so, it would seem as if the sitter is telling the truth.

Your response makes absolutely no sense. If mothers are calling 911 because of nosebleeds, then they aren't intelligent enough to be mothers.
"Why should women care for their kids?"
Another dumb comment from you. Because when you decide to have children, you take on that responsibility; not only moms but dads too. Both parents need to take an active role in raising their children. I'm not targeting women. And as far being "stuck in the 50's?" I bet most people would love to be able to relive the 50's or even the 60's and 70's...when there were actually family units, when family came first, when you made some sacrifices for the sake of your kids, when your parents did without so their kids could have a better life. What are we giving our kids today? Don't even get me started on this because you haven't a clue.

The reason they are giving so much attention to the fact that she is Billy Bob's daughter is just THAT. She is the adult child of a celebrity.
While I don't condone killing or abusing children, I don't think this woman set out to murder her friend's child. I think the child had a fall and Brumfield, NOT being a medical professional didn't know how to handle the situation. The baby could have passed out and she may have mistook this as being "asleep". As we have seen with the recent death of Natasha Richardson, head injuries may not seem serious at first. Ms. Richardson was laughing and cutting up after she fell down.
Dr. Garavalia may be a trained professional, but doctors do not know all and are not Gods. Sometimes when they get so much attention, they seem to think they know it all.

Uhhhh....Why didn't they do an autopsy of the contents of the child's stomach before ruling it a homicide?????? The babysitter's story sounds as if it maybe true. Maybe the pain of the injury progressed as time passed on and the child MAY HAVE eaten snacks, that can easily be PROVEN!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, if you're gonna have a child, you need to take the responsibility and care for your OWN children, not pawn them off to some daycare or babysitter. I don't care who you hire, no one is going to be more attentive, more caring and more loving to your child than you!
And women...don't give me this cop out excuse that you need to go back to work to pay the bills! YOU need to adjust your lifestyle and do without the extra car payment, the flat screen TV or the extravagant vacations and do what you are expected to do; take care of your own children! I hear this comment too many times from co-workers: "Why should I change my lifestyle just because I have children?" or "I don't want to be stuck at home taking care of kids all day!" or "I'm working just to make enough money to pay for the expensive daycare bills." GET HOME AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN KIDS!!
Our society needs to start taking responsibility for rearing, raising, educating, caring and loving OUR OWN CHILDREN...not pawning them off or letting some inexperienced or "professional" company take care of our kids. Go back to doing what our parents did. Mom stays home. Dad works. Dad stays home. Mom works. Dad works two jobs. Whatever. As long as one parent stays home to take care of the kids.
Sure, there are exceptions to this rule. Like if you're a single mom.(That's a whole different discussion right there.). My point is; we take for granted the special, intimate part of being parents. We lose out on the best years of their lives because we aren't there to care for them. And we run a very high risk that someone or something is going to happen to our children because we choose to put them in the hands of strangers or have our elderly parents take care of them (another discussion: our parents raising us and then having to "raise" our kids and their grandchildren after they've retired. Don't get me started on this topic!).
Lets get back back to how it used to be. Lets start taking our own responsibility and not have to rely on someone to take care of our own children! Most likely, a lot of these situations would stop happening. Our kids would be better off, loved more, care for more and maybe...just maybe, grow up to appreciate life more, respect others more and lead better lives. Hey, it couldn't hurt!

I COMPLETELY agree, the ONLY person that ever watched my kids was my mother. And the only people that ever watch my grandson are ME and my mother.
But then again my kids and grandson are loved!
People SHOULDN'T have kids if they are going to have to leave them with strangers. We are SUPPOSED to protect our kids NOT put them in harms way.
