Bodycam footage shows the moment police responded to the home daycare of Amanda Hickey, a 48-year-old woman from Dunwoody, Georgia, after she called 911 about an unresponsive baby in 2021. The video depicts Dunwoody police and firefighters investigating the scene at Hickey’s “Little Lovey Daycare” business, which she ran out of her home. Authorities later found security footage showing the caretaker placing the infant on their stomach, a practice that goes against safe sleep recommendations for infants.

Why work with kids if you don't have patience for children? It makes no sense.
Oh what a beautiful baby. What a witch!
There is something very fkn strange / disconnected with that mother reaction to watching the cop with a rag doll demonstrating how her baby was abused – that’s no devastated grieving mother, she looked all happy towards the dog – way too odd if you ask me, I would not even be able to watch a rag doll reenactment of my murdered baby
She going to prison for life but won’t last their their in jail. Theirs a lot of mommas in jail
i'm so sad that the us system is built in such a way where so many are forced to leave their tiny babies in daycare. it must be heartbreaking as a parent aswell as dangerous.
in my country (sweden) the state pays you to stay at home with your kid for 480 days.
they are not allowed to be placed in daycare until they've turned 1. there are definitely things i would like to change here but the parental leave laws are supreme and i think that is very important for a country as a whole. kids need to be with their parents. not nannys or daycare staff.
that poor mom rushing to the ambulance is so hard to watch, knowing the outcome. 😔
I can’t even imagine!!!! I would be inconsolable!!!!! I would be screaming 😱 😱😱😱 They would have to put me in the hospital!!!! Not a 6 month old precious Angel 👼 Completely devastating! 😓😓😓😓😓😓
How many babies was she looking after. How many staff please don’t say it was just her🧐
That many cots, travel cots esp, rings alarm bells, surely poor kids 😢
This is insane. Like I can’t even imagine this type of pain. Everything you would do for your child and this happens. I hope that woman never leaves prison.
30y in prison for laying the baby on his tummy?
18:34 LAWYER, that is the right thing to do. You say “No, I want a lawyer”. Bruce Rivers would be so disappointed.
The parents omg
More upset about he closing then the child that literally died
Omg this is sooooooo me 😅
That’s a depressing place. It’s dark, dark, depressing and feels uncomfortable.
Mom running just took my breath away, I can’t imagine.
The mom seems so calm even when the cop shows how she flung her baby. I hope she’s ok. She seems to be in shock
Omg I'm crying
Heartbreaking
Police should see cameras from police station to view cameras in daycares
Trust no daycare
“Is my mom in trouble?!”
Cop: “…. Not right now.”
Think they knew something was right when they got there.
“Am I closed tomorrow?”.
Is this lady serious??
0 remorse from this lady.
3:20 his phone pass is 00000 lol???
Why was she wearing gloves
Im confused, the narrorator says the baby is 4 months old, the officer says 6 months old, but the beginning of the video shows the baby running which means that he hast to at least be 12 months old.
NO home day care!
