一 | “师傅，来喝杯凉茶歇歇脚！”杭州日报讯盛夏高温来袭，市政环卫工人、外卖快递员、园林养护工人等户外一线工作者依旧头顶烈日坚守岗位。 DECATUR, Ga. -- A suburban Atlanta woman has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the 2021 murder of a 4-month-old who died after she placed him to sleep on his abdomen in the child care center she operated out of her basement.A judge sentenced Amanda Hickey, 48, on Friday after families of children she was accused of abusing gave emotional testimony against her.”I know that there is nothing I can say in words to take away their pain, except take responsibility and express extreme sorrow for what I’ve done,” Hickey told DeKalb County Superior Court Chief Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “This is my legacy now.”Charlie Cronmiller was being cared for in Hickey's Little Lovey child care center when he died on Feb. 3, 2021. Hickey didn't check on him for more than two hours before finding him covered in vomit and not breathing. The infant was pronounced dead at a hospital.Hickey operated the child care center from the basement of her Dunwoody home. She initially told investigators that she put the baby down on his back, in line with state regulations, but that the child rolled over onto his abdomen. Security video, however, showed Hickey actually placed the infant facedown.Video showed her swinging other babies by their feet, slamming them into the ground, pulling their hair, pushing and tripping toddlers, and placing others in unsafe positions for sleep, prosecutors said. The victims ranged in age from 6 to 18 months.Hickey was licensed to care for six children, but prosecutors said 10 were inside her home the day Charlie died.She pleaded guilty Sept. 22 to seven counts of first-degree child cruelty, seven counts of reckless conduct, one count of second-degree child cruelty and three counts of battery. Hickey entered an Alford plea, which allows a person to maintain her innocence while acknowledging that it is in her best interest to plead guilty to charges of second-degree murder and second-degree child cruelty related to Cronmiller's death. “There is no remorse,” the baby's mother, Stephanie Cronmiller, told the court Friday. “The only thing she’s sorry about is that she got caught. I focus on forgiving myself because I chose her. How could I not think this was my fault?”Hickey was taken into custody immediately after the hearing. Jackson ordered that once Hickey is released from prison, she can’t have contact with the victims or any children younger than 13, and can’t gain financially from the case.。为了给户外“高温下的坚守者”送去一份实实在在的清凉，临安区“流动凉茶铺送清凉”活动如约而至，这已经是它连续第五年出摊了。由杭州市综合行政执法局环卫固废中心、临安区综合行政执法局以及多家爱心保洁公司联手打造的“流动凉茶铺”，采用“定点驿站纳凉+流动车辆派送”的双线模式，在临安区多个街道为户外工作者送上解暑关怀。五年来，从最初送一杯凉茶，到如今升级为体系化的“双线服务”，“流动凉茶铺”以持续不断的清凉服务，向所有在高温下默默付出的劳动者致敬。今年，“流动凉茶铺”共规划10条服务线路，覆盖临安城区、青山湖科技城等核心区域。由百余人组成的10支服务队各配备专属服务车，打造移动式便民服务点。在户外作业高峰时段，志愿者随车满载凉茶、矿泉水、棒冰等解暑物资，穿梭于主城区、青山湖科技城等重点作业路段，向道路清扫、市政施工、路面执勤等一线岗位劳动者进行派送。除流动派送点位外，本次活动还设置了14个爱心凉茶固定服务点，涵盖唐宁郡驿站、大塘路驿站、武肃街驿站、青山湖街道寺前路8号城管驿站、天柱街536号城管驿站等。
