Heather Greenman, a 37-year-old Riverside resident, has been arrested in connection with the death of a 15-month-old toddler in Beaumont, California. Greenman, the child’s babysitter, is also linked to serious injuries suffered by another child in her care.
This case falls under family law, with a primary focus on child safety and protection. Greenman is now facing charges for child abuse and abuse resulting in death. If convicted, she could face significant legal consequences, including imprisonment and loss of rights to work with children.
The toddler suffered a serious head injury, resulting in swelling and bleeding on the brain, leading to death. However, Greenman claimed the injury was the result of a fall.
