The parents of a nine-month-old girl killed by a nursery worker have tragically revealed how they hoped she would be OK as they rushed to hospital to see her.
Genevieve Meehan died after Kate Roughley strapped her face down on a bean bag for more than 90 minutes at Tiny Toes nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport.
Roughley, who was jailed for 14 years in May 2024, tightly swaddled Genevieve before further restraining her with a harness then covering her with a blanket.
The 37-year-old then failed to carry out adequate checks on the distressed child before discovering her unresponsive and blue on the afternoon of May 9, 2022.
Roughley's colleagues and paramedics desperately tried to revive Genevieve but her condition was irreversible and she was pronounced dead in hospital later that day.
