A babysitter in Northern California is due in court Friday on charges that she tried to smother a baby in her care, authorities said.
Livermore police say they have video footage from a hidden nanny cam of 20-year-old Moriah Gonzales pressing her hands against the crying 13-month-old baby until the child went limp on Feb. 18.
In a probable-cause document attached to Gonzales criminal complaint, police reported that the footage showed Gonzales holding him with her hands nearing his face, but clear audible crying could still be heard.
Moriah then placed her hands closer to [the babys] face and the sounds went from clear and audible to a muffled cry. After a few seconds, [the baby] began to squirm and kick. He then went limp, the report states.
She then lifted the boy facing up until the back of his head was resting on her shoulder, her hands still over the babys face, according to the report. Police said when she removed her hands, the baby started crying again.
So Gonzales then allegedly flung the baby over her shoulder face up, its arms extended outward as if it was limp, then laid the boy back down in his crib, according to the report.
When the babys parents got home and reviewed the tape, Gonzales was still in the home, police said. The parents asked her to leave but did not tell her what they saw; the parents called police after she left.
