Daycare worker arrested after caught on video ‘torturing’ 8-month-old to death

A Baltimore day care worker was arrested after officials say she “tortured” an 8-month old girl to death.

On Tuesday, police were called to Rocket Tiers Learning Center on reports of a baby not breathing and arrived to find EMS performing CPR on the little girl, Reese Bowman.

According to CBS Baltimore, Leah Walden, 23, was seen on surveillance video several times snatching the girl violently by one arm out of her crib. She also can be seen putting an excessive number of blankets on the girl as well as putting pillows over her face and at one point seems to smack the child in the face.

Bowman died shortly after arriving at the hospital. Authorities believe that she was awake during the assault.

On Thursday, Walden was arrested, and she faces a number of charges, including first and second-degree murder.
