Mom charged with death of baby on changing table

DES MOINES — Authorities have charged the mother of an infant who died on a changing table in Des Moines.

Court records say 26-year-old Laci Taylor is charged with child endangerment resulting in death. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for her. The records say Taylor left the 3-month-old girl unattended on the table on Sept. 18. The girl’s airway was cut off when she rolled over and her neck was compressed against a table ledge.
