OGDEN, Utah (AP) - The operator of a Roy child care facility has been ordered to appear in court in connection with the death of a child left under her supervision.
The 33-year-old Tisha Lynn Morley faces charges of felony child abuse homicide.
Her attorney could not be reached by phone Tuesday evening.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports (https://tinyurl.com/p8pfbnh ) Morley made an initial appearance out of custody in court Tuesday after posting $10,000 bond on her $100,000 bail.
Police say the infant’s father on Feb. 19 arrived at Tots & Tykes Day Care to find the baby unresponsive. Doctors reportedly discovered the infant had sustained a head injury. The child was flown to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, where he was pronounced dead.
Morley’s next court appearance is scheduled for May 20.
