A 10-year-old girl has been charged as an adult for killing a 6-month-old baby at a Wisconsin home day care run by her foster parents.

On October 30, the unnamed 10-year-old girl was at her foster parent’s home in Tilden when she allegedly stamped on the baby boy’s head after she dropped him. Chippewa County District Attorney Wade Newell said in court Monday.

The police said that they received a call on October 30 from a caretaker saying that they had found the boy bleeding from the head and unresponsive at a foster care, which doubles as a daycare in Wheaton, Wisconsin.

He was taken to hospital in St Paul Minnesota where he was later pronounced dead two days after. The police questioned four children and an adult and they all pointed at the 10-year-old girl. She was arrested and later she admitted that she hurt the baby.

She said she dropped the baby and he hit his head on a footstool and started crying so she panicked and started stamping on his head. Before the boy’s death, she was staying with her biological parents who operate the daycare centre in the town of Wheaton but has now been placed in foster care.

The Judge in the court said:

"By statute, a 10-year-old or older is required to at least start out the process in adult court, and that’s why we’re here today."

She has been charged with first degree intentional homicide. She appeared in court wearing handcuffs and a black hoodie.Cash bond was set at $50,000 (£38,000) at a court hearing yesterday.
