Sentenced: 7MO Who Died In Babysitter's Care Had High Concentration Of Benadryl In Her Blood

[Sugar Cookie]

A 7-month-old who died in the care of a babysitter in February tested positive for almost twice the concentration of Benadryl in her blood than what’s consistent with fatal overdoses in infants, documents filed in court show.

Dixie Denise Villa appeared before a judge Monday morning in connection with the case.

Villa, who has been charged with manslaughter, turned herself into police over the weekend. Her bail as been set at $1 million.

Police say 7-month-old Abigail Lobisch died at Villa’s home on the Aliamanu Military Reservation. Villa called 911 after finding baby Abigail unresponsive on the morning of Feb. 24.

In interviews with police, Villa said the baby had been fine all day.

She told officers the only thing she had administered to Abigail was lotion because she was slightly sunburnt after spending the day at the pool, court documents show.

But an autopsy concluded that baby Abigail had died of diphenhydramine toxicity.

Police didn’t say if that’s what Villa is accused of doing. But court documents do show that Villa told officers on Feb. 24 that baby Abigail slept through the night ― not waking up once.

The baby’s mother told police that Abigail typically woke up frequently during the night.

Why was a baby sleeping overnight at the babysitters? Don’t understand that part at all.
I couldn’t let my 7 month old sleep over at someone else’s house (not even family), not for anything....

Daycare was unlicensed, the base attempted to shut it down before.
Maybe provide affordable, accessible childcare for your military families that you made come all the way out to Satan's armpit aka Hawaii, and this kind of shit wouldn't happen. Just sayin'

Hell of a daycare she has there.

Benadryl works wonders as a sedative...or so I heard. The question is whether she was malicious or irresponsible. Those damn bottles don't list dosage. I had to hound my pediatrician to figure out how much to give and even then my toddler acts like a sailor on shore leave afterwards.

Abigail Lobisch

An Oahu Circuit Court jury found babysitter Dixie Denise Villa guilty of manslaughter in the February 2019 death of 7-month-old Abigail Lobisch.

They received the case late Wednesday afternoon after three days of evidence and opening and closing statements, and deliberated for a full day. They returned this morning with a verdict within a half hour of the start of their deliberations.

The jury was not told during trial that Villa, then a 40-year-old Navy wife had reportedly been running an illegal, unlicensed childcare business out of her Aliamanu Military Housing home, and neighbors had complained of neglect.

The defense argued that Lobisch’s mother and father, Villa’s two older daughters or a friend could have given the drug to the infant.

Defense lawyer Megan Kau said the baby’s mother, Anna Lobisch, could have had the drug in her system from taking TYLENOL PM and caused the fatal levels in her daughter with her breast milk.

The state’s case showed that Villa was home alone with Abigail Lobisch, her 2-year-old brother, Villa’s own daughter and son, all under the age of 5 on the night of Feb. 23, 2019.

Deputy Prosecutor Tiffany Kaeo said she was the only one capable of administering the drug.

Kaeo said Villa was overwhelmed with having to care for all the children, and chose to pacify the children with iPads and the baby with diphenhydramine.

Kau said she will file a motion for a mistrial because the deputy prosecutor told the court this morning that new evidence had come to light that Anna Lobisch slept with her baby.

Although co-sleeping was not raised as the cause of death, Kau said that it is an issue if the prosecution withheld information and Lobisch lied during her testimony. Also Kau said the prosecution pointed out that it was irresponsible for Villa to sleep with baby Abigail next to her.

If you can't handle the stress of a bunch of children...don't get into childcare!
It is so scary to leave children anywhere anymore.

What little money you are getting is never worth the time or aggravation.



Hopefully the mistrial is not granted and any appeal she attempts are denied.

A babysitter who was found guilty of manslaughter in the Benadryl overdose death of a baby girl was sentenced.

Dixie Denise Villa received the maximum sentence for manslaughter – 20 years in prison.

Villa was babysitting 7-month-old Abigail Lobisch overnight in 2019 when the child died from a fatal dose of diphenhydramine, an ingredient in Benadryl.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Tiffany Kaeo told the court that Villa deserved the maximum sentence.

“This drug should never be given to any child under the age of 6 without a doctor’s orders,” Kaeo said.

A pediatrician also testified that Benadryl is not marketed for babies, and that the packaging typically says, “Not for use under the age of 2, except under the direct supervision and recommendation of a physician.”

Villa’s attorney, Megan Kau, argued for Villa to be sentenced to probation. Kau said Villa was not a danger to the public and could not care for her own two children, one of whom has special needs, from behind bars.

In the end, Circuit Court Judge Faaunga Toʻotoʻo agreed with the prosecution, handing down the maximum 20-year sentence.

“This was a difficult trial,” he said. “The facts and the law here are clear. This should not have happened.”

Toʻotoʻo continued, “These are the factors that the court has to consider, as well as what is appropriate, and the only sentence that stands out for this case is that the defendant must be sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment.”

The parole board will determine how many years Villa must serve in prison before being eligible for parole.

Villa had asked for a new trial, claiming evidence was withheld and that the child’s mother lied on the stand about co-sleeping with the baby, thus challenging her credibility.

A judge denied that request last month, saying newly acquired evidence would not have changed the jury’s verdict.
