A not guilty plea has been entered in the case against a babysitter in the death of a toddler. Dylan Schumaker faces second-degree murder and first-degree assault charges in the death of one-year old Austin Smith. Schumaker, who is 16, was watching his girlfriend's children when he struck Smith. It was determined that the child died from blunt force trauma.

Schumaker has been arraigned and is being held in the Erie County Holding Center without bail.

Smith would have celebrated his second birthday today.
