The child sustained head trauma and later died of her injuries.

Amanda Brumfield, the oldest daughter of actor Billy Bob Thornton, has been arrested in Florida on charges of child neglect resulting in the death of an infant she was babysitting.
Brumfield, 29, was allegedly babysitting a 1-year-old on October 3, 2008 when the child died after falling from a playpen.
According to authorities, the call for help didn’t come until two and a half hours after the original fall. An autopsy determined the child suffered a fractured skull and a subdural hematoma due to blunt trauma.
Thornton’s publicist, Arnold Robinson, said the actor is estranged from his daughter “and has had no contact with her for quite some time.”

Billy Bob Thornton gained notoriety in Canada and throughout the world when on April 8, 2009 he had a major freak out on the CBC Radio One Show Q when he and his band The Boxmasters were interviewed by Canadian host Jian Ghomeshi. Throughout the interview, Thornton appeared confused and refused to answer Ghomeshi's questions directly. He than also refused to participate in a live, in-studio band performance.

This reminds me of a bunch of vultures, who go in for the eyes and heart.  You don't know Amanda and the only reason this story even made the news is because of Billy Bob, who never raised her and mostly had nothing to do with her. He was only her biological father, not her real father.  This hurts her family and her children more than you can imagine.  I don't believe that she would ever deliberately hurt a child.  I have seen her with her own children and frankly find it hard to believe.
