A Cincinnati woman, Brook Hunter, has been indicted on involuntary manslaughter and endangering children charges after her newborn child died as a result of co-sleeping — the second child of hers to die from the warned-against activity

Please stop doing this!!!! She was WARNED after her first child died. 

A Cincinnati woman has been indicted on involuntary manslaughter and endangering children charges after her newborn child died as a result of co-sleeping — the second child of hers to die from the warned-against activity.

Brook Hunter’s 6-week-old baby died on June 22, the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office in Ohio said in a release obtained by Cincinnati local news affiliates WCPO-9 and FOX19.

Hunter had allegedly been co-sleeping with the baby, a practice described as when a parent sleeps in close physical contact with their child, typically in a bed or a couch/chair. The term has also been referred to as bed-sharing.

A year prior, Hunter’s first child died during infancy due to co-sleeping, Assistant Prosecutor Amy Clausing told both outlets in a statement. The prosecutor’s office said that Hunter had been warned that co-sleeping with infants is dangerous after her first child’s death.

The 6-week-old infant’s death in June was deemed a homicide because Hunter had already received that warning, Clausing told WCPO-9 and FOX19.
