Summary

A 45-year-old Ohio woman, Melanie DiMarzio, faces serious charges after the death of an 8-month-old boy in her home daycare — two counts of involuntary manslaughter and one of child endangering. The infant, Grant Simmons, was found unresponsive during a nap, and investigators reveal DiMarzio was running an unlicensed daycare with up to 10 children daily, none of whom were properly supervised or protected. She admitted lacking CPR training, baby monitors, emergency plans, and safe sleeping arrangements — all while operating beyond state limits. Now indicted by a grand jury, the case is set to proceed as authorities move to hold her accountable. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
