NOUNOU convicted: 12 years in prison for fatal shaking trauma!

In a tragic case that shaked the public, 45-year-old Vanina Rysz was sentenced to a prison sentence of 12 years before the jury in Chambéry on June 20, 2025. This is the same punishment as in the first judgment that was made in 2022. Rysz was responsible for the death of the infant Hugo, who died on October 22, 2013 in Marlenheim under her care. During the procedure, she claimed to have shaken the child because it was lethargic after drinking. However, the President of the court, Christine Schlumberger, made it clear that this lethargy was a direct result of shaking, such as [lalsace.fr] (https://www.lalsace.fr/faits-dvers- justice/2025/20/Bebe-secoue-peine-confirmee-pour-la-nounou) reported.

The prosecutor Gueorgui Varnabov called for an increase in the punishment to 14 years in prison and referred to the problematic reasoning of Rysz. This had stated during the procedure while holding the child to have suffered a dizziness to explain the serious injuries. However, the medical report pointed out that the child had been shaken 15 days earlier and had suffered a head punch shortly before his death.

a shattering offense

The defense tried to scold doubts about Rysz by argumenting that the child's serious injuries could possibly have arisen outside of childcare times. Rysz himself emphasized during the procedure: "I am not a murderer", while the court made the judgment after three hours of consultations. Her calm reaction to the decision, which she also banned with a lifelong to ever work with children, faced, created mixed feelings in the courtroom.

This judgment illustrates the serious consequences that can arise from neglected supervision and violent acts towards children in need of protection. In similar cases, such as another incident in the Haute-Savoie, in which a 36-year-old assistant mother was also sentenced to a prison sentence for abuse of a toddler, an alarming trend in society is shown. This case was punished with a penalty of 12 years and the convict has fought against the allegations until the last minute, without convincing how to underpin their point of view, how franceinfo.fr reports.

The effects of shaking trauma

The so -called shaking trauma is a serious problem that is well documented in the medical community. According to report the American Academy of Pediatrics , such violence can cause permanent damage to infants. Experts point out that screaming is often a triggering situation for such behavior. Studies have shown that a high incidence of cases with reference to shaking trauma can be observed, which underlines the need for prevention measures.

In view with these tragic cases, a debate for education and dealing with the causes will urgently be necessary. In particular, dealing with stressful situations in the care of small children must be discussed in order to avoid such incidents in the future and to protect the well -being of children.
