A 16-month-old girl died at a North Carolina day care after a worker allegedly tried to force her to nap by lying on top of her while “scrolling on her phone,” according to a new lawsuit. Alexandra Coffey was arrested last year following the death of Maddy Mitchell at Creative Beginnings in Lenoir on May 19, 2025. Coffey is currently awaiting trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter. The child’s family has now filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Caldwell County, accusing Coffey of gross negligence. #maddymitchell #creativebeginnings #alexandracoffey #caldwellcounty
