Ohio babysitter beat toddler to death because she put ketchup in toilet
An Ohio babysitter is accused of beating a three-year-old girl to death because she dumped ketchup in the toilet.
Lindsay Partin, 35, was charged with murder last month after Hannah Wesche, the toddler she had been looking after, was declared brain dead in a Cincinnati hospital.
Partin allegedly hit the little girl to discipline her for putting ketchup in her toilet, according to court documents filed on Monday.

She was put on life support but was declared brain dead three days later.
Partin had called 911 and reported that Hannah had collapsed shortly after her father, Jason Wesche, had dropped her off at her home on the morning of March 8.
Police said Wesche rushed back to Partin's home and tried to get his daughter to breathe normally for 15 minutes.
He said she was gasping for air as she laid on her back on Partin's couch.
First responders found the little girl unresponsive and bruising over her head and face.
Partin later admitted to striking Hannah but said she had fallen and hit her head on the floor the previous day.
Hannah's family said doctors had to remove a portion of her skull to try and relieve the swelling on her brain.

ShareHannah's father had been taking the toddler to Partin's home for months in the lead up to her death.
The father-of-three said he knew Partin through a friend and she had all the necessary credentials to look after his youngest daughter.
Partin was initially charged with felonious assault and felony child endangering, but that was upgraded to involuntary manslaughter when Hannah died of her injuries.
She is now charged with one count each of murder and involuntary manslaughter in addition to three counts of endangering children.
