Childminder Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter of Baby Boy

Karen Foster admitted to shaking nine-month-old Harlow Collinge in frustration, leading to his death in 2022.

Foster, 62, initially faced murder charges but pleaded guilty to manslaughter before the trial began.
The court heard that Foster shook the baby after he fell from his high chair and began crying.
A CT scan revealed significant brain injuries, including bleeding and swelling.
Foster, with nine years of childminding experience, was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing.
She also faced allegations of assaulting a two-year-old girl in 2019, which will remain on file.
