Khairunnisa was charged with negligence leading to the death of 15-month-old Nour Rania Asyifaa Yuseri, known as “Baby Syifaa”, at a nursery in Bandar Sri Sendayan at around 12.30pm on February 22, 2022.
She was charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, which relates to any person responsible for a child’s care who abuses, neglects, abandons or exposes the child in a manner likely to cause physical or emotional harm. Offenders face up to 20 years in jail, a fine of up to 50,000 ringgit, or both.

In July 2024, the Coroner’s Court ruled that Baby Syifaa died from compression of the neck after becoming entangled in a cloth cradle. It also found that she had been left unsupervised in a room for two hours before her death.
