Two women jailed in Tangier daycare infant death case

The investigating judge at the Tangier Court of Appeal has ordered the detention of two women in connection with the death of an eight-month-old baby at an unlicensed daycare in the Bir Chifa neighborhood, judicial sources told Hespress.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the daycare owner lacked authorization from relevant authorities and failed to meet minimum safety standards. The facility also employed no qualified staff, and the owner’s only document was a certificate issued by the local commune, which has no legal authority to grant such licenses.

Both the daycare owner and her assistant are being prosecuted for negligence leading to the infant’s death at the hands of an eight-year-old girl, who cannot be held criminally liable due to her age.

The public prosecutor has charged the women with “exposing and abandoning a child under 15 resulting in death,” “fraud,” and “operating without a license.”
