(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the license suspension of a Manchester daycare provider after a child died in her care. Amanda Cooke found a five-month-old child she was caring for unresponsive when she went to check on the child who was taking a nap. The baby was on its stomach with its face in a blanket, and the autopsy found it died from lack of oxygen to the brain.<\/p>\n
The Department of Health and Human Services found this was a child abuse case because Cooke did not following safe sleep regulations, and revoked her childcare registration. Cooke appealed saying she should not be held to a higher standard for supervision than a parent.<\/p>\n
But the Supreme Court says Cooke violated safe sleep practices she had agreed to follow as a compensated state-registered childcare provider, and upheld the H-H-S action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"0","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-558819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kjan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kjan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kjan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kjan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kjan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kjan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558819\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kjan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kjan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kjan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
