A daycare worker in Florida has been charged with aggravated child abuse after allegedly violently assaulting an infant in her care because she was upset over “personal issues” and “a text message.” The incident, which left a 3-month-old infant with a fractured skull, fractured leg, fractured ribs, and a brain bleed, highlights the extreme severity of how the legal system treats such cases.
Per PEOPLE, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office took to Facebook, sharing that police responded to a call at HCA Florida Gulf Coast Hospital. Medical staff at the hospital had called when the infant arrived with these catastrophic injuries. An initial investigation by the Bay County Sheriff’s Office revealed that the infant sustained the injuries earlier that day while at daycare under the supervision of employee LaKayla E. Hamilton.
