Nurse gave partner’s newborn nephew lethal dose of painkiller after feeling ‘resentment’

Our thanks to Steve for this. The start of the piece:

A hospital nurse put the painkiller Tramadol into the feed of newborn baby in a “moment of madness”, a family court judge has concluded.

Judge Jane Probyn said a doctor had described the 12-day-old boy, the nephew of the nurse’s policeman partner, as being “30 minutes away from death”.

The judge said the youngster had recovered and not suffered any long-term consequences.

She said the nurse, who suffered depression, anxiety and low self-esteem alongside a history of mental health difficulties, had put at least 12 fragmented tablets into the baby’s bottle after succumbing to “feelings of resentment and despair”.

The judge added she did not think the nurse, who is in her 20s, had intended to cause the baby “serious harm”. [J4MB emphasis]

We need more female judges and nurses. Between them they can kill baby boys, and suffer no consequences.

If everyone who read this gave us just £1.00 – or even better, £1.00 or more, monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
