Zeyda White

The notion of babysitting often conjures up pleasant images of nurturing and caring for a child for a few hours.

But the tragic case of Zeyda White is a shocking contrast and a parent’s nightmare come true.

While many details remain unclear, we know suburban Atlanta-area police arrested an 11-year-old girl following the weekend death of 2-year-old Zeyda.

Authorities say an autopsy indicates Zeyda died of blunt force trauma, raising questions about the young babysitter’s reported claim that Zeyda was injured in a fall off a bed.

Zeyda’s mother, Ashlea Collier, reportedly wants the girl, whose name has not been released, to serve hard time for the rest of her life.

However, Georgia law dictates that children under 13 must be charged in the juvenile system, so if tried and convicted, the babysitter couldn’t be incarcerated past her 21st birthday.
