Child Dies From Diaper Rash

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - The mother and grandmother of a toddler who died in December face criminal charges for allegedly neglecting his severe diaper rash, leading to a fatal infection.

Amy Livingston, 27, of Johnstown, was charged Tuesday with involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment in the Dec. 12 death of her 15-month-old son, Harley. She was charged with a second count of child endangerment because another son, 3-year-old Hunter, also had severe diaper rash, authorities said.

I would assume that since the grandmother was a supervisor at a day care center that she at least would know that diaper rash needs to be treated. Therefore they can't claim that they didn't know any better. I can't even imagine the pain that this baby must have gone through before eventually dying. It pains me very much to read of such an incident; I hope these people are put away for a very long time.

The 2 parents should be forced to wear a diaper and develop a rash to nearly the point that their son had and then get treated. Of course, that would be if I were the judge in this case!

It is probably best I am not a judge,
