Babysitter sentenced to 18 years for crippling a child
The Schenectady woman found guilty in April of smashing the skull of the 2-year-old she babysat a year ago was sentenced this morning to 18 years in prison.
Rebecca Polomaine, 31, of 475 Alexander St., was given her sentence at an emotional hearing that included statements by both parents of Riley Gilbert. Riley is now 3 and cannot talk or walk and is blind, the result of a severe brain trauma she suffered when Polomaine smashed her head into or onto a hard surface.
"Everyday, I come home and my duaghter cannot run to me," Riley's father, Brad, said in court this morning. "She can't say hi to me. She's stuck in a chair."

We will all make it through this. God tests us in many ways. We all have struggles, problems and hardships but I believe everything happens for a reason!
