*UPDATE* Daycare Worker Charged with Murder of Infant – Bear



Bear – The Delaware State Police have charged 19 year old, Dejoynay M. Ferguson of New Castle, with Murder 1st Degree, in connection with the death of a 4 month old infant who was under her care at a Bear daycare facility.

On Thursday, September 5, 2019 at approximately 10:35 a.m., Troopers along with Emergency Medical Services personnel responded to the Little People Child Development Center, located at 3843 Wrangle Hill Rd., in reference to an unresponsive 4 month old. The female infant was subsequently transported to the Christiana Hospital where she was pronounced deceased.

The investigation, being conducted by the Delaware State Police Homicide Unit, has determined that Ferguson, who was the assigned caregiver for the female victim in the Infant Room at the facility, placed her hands over the victim’s mouth and nose and intentionally restricted her breathing until she became unresponsive. Once becoming unresponsive the victim was placed back into a crib by Ferguson. After approximately 20 minutes Ferguson advised the owner of the facility that the victim was unresponsive at which time a call was made to 911.

Ferguson was charged with one count of Murder 1st Degree and arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court #11 before being committed to the Dolores J. Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution on $1,000,000.00 cash bail.

As a result of the incident and ongoing investigation the Office of Childcare Licensing has suspended the license of the facility indefinitely.

This is a time when cruel and unusual punishment is warranted.

She was supposed to be named after her parents' favorite condiment, Dijonnaise, but they couldn't spell it properly.

I have a 11 month old daughter. I can't even imagine what the parents are going through.

An infant’s life is taken and you see it as an opportunity to launch your career in stand-up comedy. You are pitiful.

This thug needs to be held down and hold her mouth and nose closed until she becomes unresponsive. Then pour bacon grease on her and turn 6 hungry and rabid pit bulls loose on her.

Condolences to the child's family.

She should receive the same punishment. Maybe she will in jail?

Years ago Judge "Hot Dog" Simpkins told the couple guilty of locking their child in a closet for years, he would like to see the old fashioned whipping post brought back.

Liberals, I don't give a damn what you think.

Not an ounce of remorse on her face in her mug shot picture. I'd like to hear her reason for doing this, then smack the ever-living sh*t out of her!

Exactly! Your just as disgusting.

An eye for an eye. That is exactly how we as a country need to start handling situations like this. Pathetic.

If that was my child she wouldn't be able to run fast enough or climb high enough.

Judge Eschenburg once told a pervert that molested his own granddaughter that he wished he could order him to be shot.

Northwest Woodsman: Good chance that her first comment when questioned was “Who, me? I dindu nuffin”. Then after figuring out that her disciplinary methods caused the death of an infant, she became highly remorseful as can be seen in her facial expression on this particular mugshot.

HATE CRIME!!!

Wow, Delaware looks like they take baby killing seriously (if it's not your own). I wonder what their abortion laws are like? Do they take the same stance when a mother kills her unborn child?

Hell Old Judge Simpson would have loved to bring back the hanging tree on the courthouse lawn. No appeals, no second guessing, just let the judge decide and take them out and hang them. Right or wrong, wrongful conviction, or not, just take them out and hang them. Just like an old judge to think like that. Yearning for the "good old days" where a judge had absolute power to determine your fate, with no recourse, or any oversight by any other authority. His thinking was like him...100 years old. Yes that old judge wished for the good old days, like back in the 1800's. Back when they "whipped" or hung them right on the courthouse lawn. Judges like him LOVED that power. It's a shame you admired him for that.

It wasn't a hate crime, it's a heinous crime but she didn't like the baby because she was white. She killed her because she wouldn't stop crying and wanted to permanently silence her. Not an acceptable reason at all she should have got one of her colleagues to take over with the baby or quit her job. She deserves a hefty prison sentence.
