A man was sentenced to a 22-year jail term after being convicted of killing a five-month-old girl in America.Mason Kamrowski, 20, pleaded guilty to the murder of Brynley Rachelle Rymer and was sentenced to jail for 22 years on Wednesday, November 27.
The jury heard that Kamrowski, who was not the baby’s biological father but was living with Brynley’s mother, was watching the baby while her mother was shopping on May 21, 2018.
Around 6:30pm, Kamrowski rushed Brynley to Altru Hospital after she suffered a medical emergency.
Doctors advised the baby suffered three heart attacks and two strokes on the way to the hospital, before dying the following day.
It is believed the cause of the injury was Shaken Baby Syndrome.
Shaking a baby is very dangerous because it can cause blindness, learning problems, brain damage or death.
Shaking can also result in your baby falling into a coma or having a brain hemorrhage.
The shaken baby syndrome usually happens when adults become frustrated, angry, or upset with a baby or children who will not stop crying and shake them.
Babies are born with heavy heads and very weak neck muscles, though their neck muscles get stronger over their first four to five years.
Our brains are soft, and are protected by our hard skulls — when children are shaken, their heads tossed back and forth.
The soft brain bounces inside the skull and if shaken hard enough, the brain could bruise or bleed and this hurts the brain.
This usually happens with small babies, but even three and four-year-olds can be hurt this way.
