The incident was not an isolated case; it was the tip of the iceberg for a sector plagued by poor practice and disregard for child safety.
Genevieve's death was one of six reported cases between 2018 and 2022 where babies died in nursery care while being put to sleep. This number suggests that something is profoundly wrong within the industry.
