An NSPCC Cymru/Wales spokesperson said: “Smith was responsible for protecting baby Bayleigh-lee but abandoned that duty of care and inflicted catastrophic injuries on her.
“Babies and young children are completely dependent upon the adults who care for them and it is vital that anyone worried about a child’s welfare raises concerns as it could save them from serious harm.
“The NSPCC offers help and support to parents via our website – nspcc.org.uk – and our helpline on 0808 800 5000.”
