Leaving someone to take care of your children requires trust. After all, you are leaving your children alone with them. But unfortunately, a couple in Maryland will have a hard time trusting anyone with their children in the future after the unthinkable happened to their baby.
A mother and father in Maryland came home to find large blisters on the soles of their baby girl’s feet. They had no idea how the blisters got there. But as the blisters swelled, it became clear that burns had been caused, so the couple immediately called the police.
No one else could have caused the burns aside from the person who was with the child before them: their babysitter.
The Washington Post reports that the babysitter, a 36-year-old woman named Ismelda Ramos-Mendoza, has been arrested.
According to Charles Earle, the babysitter burned the baby’s feet in a skillet because she wouldn’t stop crying.
“Out of frustration, she would place the baby’s feet on the grill or in the pan where she was cooking tortillas,” he told The Washington Post.
The 36-year-old woman had been a babysitter for a year or two and the police are currently investigating whether she has also abused other children.
