(March 6, 2008)—Round Rock police were investigating Thursday after an infant died of unknown causes at a home where a resident provided daycare services for several children.

Guillermina Villanueva, 43, of 801 Westminster Pl. in Round Rock told police the infant was asleep in a crib Wednesday afternoon, after feeding.

She told officers that when she went to check on the baby’s diaper around 4:30 p.m. she discovered he wasn’t breathing and called 911.

The 2-month-old boy was taken to Round Rock Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.

An autopsy was ordered.

Police said Thursday they found “no obvious or apparent indications of willful neglect or dangerous conditions in the home.”

The state Department of Protective and Regulatory Services is also investigating.

I'm a middle class retired mother of 4, about to start caring for children (max 6 in LA)from 6wks-9mos. only, in my home & this is part of the reason. Not saying that there was foul play; no. It just feels like I'm needed out there. I love babies to the depths of my heart. My first order of business will be to put camara's in their sleeping qtrs. with motion detectors and high sensitivity audio. It will allow me to see all or each baby. I love the tiny ones and this story has given me the motivation to move forward. It's the push I needed. I know a child can still die naturally but this will cut that percentage down to almost zero. Plus, I'll have a tape to give to the police to show the parents how everything went that day, ahile they slept. I won't need a lot oc coverage in te active playroom. Parents can also see from their jobs how their baby is doing. What do you all think?
