DUNWOODY, Ga. (AP) — Documents obtained by a news outlet allege that a 4-month-old baby who died at an Atlanta-area day care was laid to sleep on his stomach and left for nearly three hours. Charles Cronmiller was found unresponsive Feb. 3 at the daycare operated out of a woman’s basement in Dunwoody. Owner Amanda Hickey was charged with felony murder and cruelty to children. Documents obtained by WSB-TV allege Hickey told investigators she put Charles down for a nap and laid him on his back, but the child rolled over onto his stomach. Authorities say security video shows Hickey actually placed the infant facedown. Hickey’s attorney said her client plans to plead not guilty.
