Cruel babysitter killed eight-month-old boy by drugging him with so much hayfever medicine he died in his sleep
Lori Conley, 44, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in an Ohio court Monday
A BABYSTITTER accused of giving a fatal dose of hayfever medicine to an eight-month-old boy has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Lori Conley also pleaded guilty, in Franklin County Court, Ohio, to endangering a child and tampering with evidence following the tragic death of little Haddix Mulkey.
Conley, 44, could be sentenced to up to 17 years in prison when she reappears before the court.
Prosecutors believe she gave an adult dose of Benadryl to Haddix to try to get him to sleep while she was babysitting him May 13 at her suburban Columbus home.
The 44-year-old later called 911 after she found the baby boy unresponsive.
Authorities say Haddix died that day at a hospital from an overdose of the over-the-counter allergy medication.
It was also revealed Conley was said to be watching over eight toddlers and infants on May 13 - the day Haddix died.
Conley, of Reynoldsburg, will be sentenced on September 5.
