WATSONVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A woman and her adult daughter have been arrested after an infant died at an illegal day care they were running in central California, authorities said.
Deputies responded around 10:30 a.m. Saturday following reports of a baby not breathing at a home in Royal Oaks, according to a statement by the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office.
The 3-month-old child was pronounced dead at a hospital, the statement said.
Up to 30 children were inside the residence near Watsonville on the state’s central coast, sheriff’s officials said.
A 62-year-old woman and her 35-year-old daughter, both residents of Royal Oaks, were arrested for investigation of allegations including suspicion of involuntary manslaughter, child abuse and operating an unauthorized child care facility, officials said.
