Baby-Sitter Arrested in Death of 1-Year-Old Boy
A teenager has been booked on suspicion of killing a 1-year-old boy he was baby-sitting, sheriff’s deputies said Saturday.
The 17-year-old baby-sitter called authorities to the home in the 41000 block of 15th Street in Lake Los Angeles about 1:45 p.m. Friday and told them the child had stopped breathing while in the bathtub. Investigators said they arrested the teen, whose name was not released because of his age, after finding injuries on the child’s body.
The teen was being held without bail at Juvenile Hall in Sylmar.
