Sentenced: Gremlin Said 2YO She Was Babysitting Abused Himself To Death

[Sugar Cookie]

Claire Gelin, 44, of Irvington was convicted of manslaughter and two counts of child endangerment.

Gelin was babysitting the 2-year-old boy between Feb. 15 to Feb. 19, 2021.

Prosecutors said the child was physically abused in the days leading up to their death. Gelin waited until the third day to call the police.

First responders found the child in cardiac arrest. The toddler was declared dead at the hospital soon after.

Gelin said she had been asked to babysit the toddler by her niece's friend who was the boy's mother. Gelin claimed the baby was harmed during a fight between his mother and his father, and then injured his head during a fall at her home in the bathroom.

However, prosecutors said that her story was contradicted by medical experts.

She is both scary and scary-looking. The fact that someone would trust her with their own children is baffling.
