Mabli Cariad Hall: Woman charged over baby’s death after BMW crashed into pram outside hospital | UK News

A 70-year-old woman has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after an eight-month-old baby died after being hit by a car outside a hospital.

Mabli Cariad Hall was in her pram when a white BMW struck it outside Withybush Hospital, Pembrokeshire, Wales, on June 21 last year.

The baby was airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff for treatment, and later moved to Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, but died four days later, on Sunday 25 June.

Bridget Carole Curtis, of Begelly, Pembrokeshire, has now been charged with causing Mabli’s death by driving dangerously.

She will appear at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on 22 August.

An inquest opened in July last year heard the eight-month-old died of severe traumatic brain injuries.

Mabli’s family said they are still trying to come to terms with the loss in a statement issued via Dyfed-Powys Police.

They said: “This last year has been the most horrendous time of our lives.

“Our family life has been changed forever and to this day we are still trying to come to terms with what has happened.

“Every day is a day of pain for us, even now, but as parents we still have to give the love and support our other children need as they are still trying to come to terms with losing their baby sister.”

Parents describe baby’s ‘scary’ measles symptoms as cases soar | UK News

The parents of a five-month-old baby who was left struggling to breathe after contracting measles have described her “scary” ordeal as the number of cases soar.

England is facing a measles emergency with 86 confirmed cases in England over the past week, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

It brings the total number of measles cases recorded so far this year to almost 900 – a sharp increase from 368 cases in all of 2023.

About two-thirds of those affected are under the age of 10.

Health workers say the current outbreak, which started in the West Midlands last year, has now spread to every region of the country.

London has become the latest hotspot and five-month-old Margot House is among those who have recently contracted the highly-contagious disease.

Her mother Georgia House told Sky News: “It’s really scary because I was holding my little baby, she was struggling to breathe and she looked god-awful.

“She had rashes on her tummy, behind her neck and going up her head.”

Her daughter likely contracted measles earlier in the month when she was admitted to hospital for an allergic reaction, Ms House said.

As Margot is younger than 12 months old, she was not eligible for the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, and ended up back in hospital, needing help to breathe and eat.

The main symptoms of measles are a high fever, sore and red watery eyes, coughing, sneezing and a rash that usually appears after the initial symptoms.

Measles vaccinations in the UK were introduced in 1968 and, until recently, the widespread take-up had all but eradicated the disease until recently.

In recent weeks, hundreds of children have contracted the disease and health officials have warned that “many thousands of children around the country are still not fully vaccinated and may be at risk of serious illness or life-long complications”.

Dr Vanessa Saliba, a consultant epidemiologist at the UKHSA, said: “Numbers of measles cases are rising across the country, with a particular increase seen in London in recent weeks.

“Parents should check their child’s Red Book now to ensure that children are up to date with the MMR and other routine vaccines. If you’re unsure, contact your GP practice to check.”

GPs will be able to offer any vaccinations needed to bring them up to date, she added.

Margot will make a full recovery but her parents Georgia and James are urging anyone who may be behind on their vaccinations to get their jabs.

“You can stop this becoming an epidemic and a huge outbreak,” Ms House said. “Allow people who do want to get vaccinated, but don’t have the opportunity, to continue to live their lives without fear of getting an infection that could be life threatening.”

Carl Alesbrook: Teenager charged over death of four-month-old – as baby’s mother faces cruelty allegation | UK News

A teenager has been charged with murder over the death of a four-month-old baby.

Carl Alesbrook has also been charged with causing grievous bodily harm to the boy, named Elijah, who died in January last year.

At the time, the 18-year-old was the partner of Elijah’s mother, India Shemwell.

She has been charged with cruelty to a person under 16.

Shemwell, of Derby, has been released on police bail, while Alesbrook, of Matlock, has been remanded in police custody.

He is due to appear at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

It comes after police were called to an address in the town of Belper, Derbyshire, just before 10.50pm on 2 January last year.

Officers attended the property after a report that a young baby was in cardiac arrest.

Elijah, was taken to hospital by ambulance, but died three days later on 5 January.
