A babysitter in Ohio, who was watching a 2-year-old girl when the toddler suffered fatal head injuries learned her fate this week.
The Richland Source reported that 20-year-old Allison Nething was sentenced to 11 years in prison Wednesday for the April 2016 death of Marley Milner.
The victim’s relatives claimed that the child suffered such a violent blow to the head that had she survived she wouldn’t be able to walk, see, or eat on her own.
“In short, her injury was so severe that this could have been done in an emergency room with brain surgeons standing by at the ready and they could not have saved her,” Richland County prosecutor Gary Bishop said in court.
A family member took Milner to OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital, where doctors determined she suffered a subdural brain bleed, say reports. The child died at Nationwide Children’s Hospital as doctors performed emergency surgery, according to WMFD.
The Richland County Coroner’s office listed Milner’s cause of death as blunt force head trauma.
Bishop also claimed that the 2-year-old’s fatal injuries weren’t caused by previous injuries or a brain hemorrhage.
Detectives looked into who had contact with Milner in the 72 hours leading up to her death and in doing so, they found that Nething was watching the child on April 5, 2016, when the fatal incident occurred.
“All the experts agree, Marley became almost immediately unconscious and never regained consciousness,” the prosecutor said. “When this injury was inflicted, she was basically killed at that time.”
“So she went from being an active, alert, playful, loving 2 ½-year-old little girl to dead in the space of an afternoon, really in the space of a few minutes.”
Reports say that Nething watched Milner a few times for three months before she died.
Nething was sentenced just days after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter charges.
Authorities originally charged the 20-year-old with murder and two counts of child endangerment in connection with the girl’s death, the newspaper noted.
The Ohio woman is reportedly not eligible for early release.
She was also ordered to pay $1,000 to the victim’s grandparents and will participate in post-release control for five years.
Kim Kardashian’s Son, Saint West Hospitalized
The new year has kicked off to a rough start with a bit of a scare for Kim Kardashianand her husband, Kanye West.
While eagerly awaiting the birth of their third child via surrogate, Kim and Kanye’s son Saint West experienced a health scare of his own over the holidays.
With the holidays, there always tends to come with some sort of sickness. Bodies get run down from trying to do everything, and there just seem to be germs everywhere! I
Multivitamins are a must for my family, as soon as December starts!
No one wants to spend the holidays being sick!
Among the many perks. celebrities unfortunately, aren’t immune to the dreaded holiday sickness either. The Kardashian’s are known for their love of the Christmas season and with that comes lots of celebrating, which means lots of socializing too.
Kim Kardashian shared many photos of her gorgeous family on social media throughout the holidays.
Her kids, North and Saint West have appeared in her family Christmas card pictures as well as New Year’s pictures and it appears though, the family had quite a health scare over the holidays.
But it seems that Saint West gave his parents quite the scare over the holidays! TMZ reported that Kim and Kanye’s two year-old son was hospitalized for pneumonia the week leading up to New Year’s Eve.
Saint West appeared to have recovered quickly though.
Reports say that he was released from the hospital on Saturday and his parents were happy to bring him home to ring in the new year with his family.
There is absolutely nothing scarier than having a sick child, so I can’t imagine how worried and frantic both Kim and Kanye must have been. Especially since the couple are expected to welcome their third child soon.
Saint West’s trip to the hospital happened shortly after Kim K and her family attended a Taco Wednesday party at Jennifer Lopez’s home. The queen of the Selfie. She documented her fun time at the party on social media.
Celebrities definitely do taco night a lot differently than the rest of us!

Saint is apparently home now and ‘doing well’ following his scary hospitalization.
Kim posted a family picture to her social media accounts the day Saint West was reportedly released from the hospital.
The picture shows Kim posing while holding North West on her hip and smiling husband Kanye West is standing just behind Kim as he holds on to son Saint.
Fortunately, Saint was home to ring in the new year with his family.
The Kardashian/West’s enjoyed their New Year festivities with family and friends.
As usual, Kim documented most of it on social media.
The reality star also took to her app to share some of her resolutions for the New Year. One of those was to spend less time on her phone.
“My New Year’s resolution is to be on my phone less and be more in the moment,” she wrote on her website and app. As the soon to be parent of three kids she might simply find that she doesn’t have as much time to be on her phone anymore.
Kim doesn’t plan on just working on her phone time either. Kardashian shared her fitness goals for 2018 as well. “My 2018 fitness goal is I plan to train really hard and be more consistent — 5-6 days a week weight training with Melissa [Alcantara]!”she wrote.
Looks like celebrities have resolutions just like the rest of us.
We’re so glad that Saint is doing better now!
