Maryland State Police say they have charged a Talbot County day-care worker for the death of a child in her care.
State Police say the child suffered injuries consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome. Fifty-two-year-old Gail Dobson is charged with manslaughter and child abuse resulting in death. Dobson was arrested Wednesday night.
The District of Columbia Medical Examiner's office said 9-month-old Trevor Ulrich died last month from inflicted head trauma, which is consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome.
Paramedics found the child in cardiac arrest at Dobson's day-care center in Trappe on Sept. 2. The boy died the next day at Children's Hospital in Washington.
State police say the child had been in Dobson's care for two days.
