Current Events > Virginia Nurse caught Breaking the backs of newborn black babies

(+) Yeah! (+)

Virginia police have arrested a registered nurse in connection with a twisted attack that left a vulnerable newborn in a hospital's neonatal intensive care unit with an "unexplainable fracture" in November and additional charges could come as detectives continue to probe a half dozen similar incidents.

The 26-year-old suspect, Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman, was booked into the Henrico County Jail on charges of malicious wounding and child abuse that caused serious injury around 1:15 a.m. Friday.
A perplexing string of injuries to babies in the NICU at Henrico Doctors' Hospital in Richmond in November and December prompted officials to launch an internal investigation and close the unit to new patients on Christmas Eve.
Public records show Strotman's registered nurse's license was first issued in 2019 and is valid until May 2026.
"In late November/December, we discovered that three babies in our Henrico Doctors Hospital NICU had unexplainable fractures, similar to an incident involving four babies in the summer of 2023," the hospital said in a statement.
Concerned parents reported the injuries to Child Protective Services last year.
"Finally we can get some answers as to who abused our son. I wish I could say it was a happy moment learning of her arrest, however, learning the details involving the other babies, the only feeling I have is sadness and regret," Dominique Hackey, the father of one of the victims, told Fox News Digital Friday. "I am heartbroken to learn the degree in what this person was allowed to get away with, and regret that I shouldve spoke up sooner in hopes to prevent other children from getting hurt. "
Hackey first went public with his story to the local news station WTVR-TV last month, revealing the confusion surrounding one of his twin son's injuries. He suffered a mysterious fracture to his tibia in September 2023. His mother, a former NICU nurse herself, reported the injury to social services.
It wasn't until a year later that Henrico CPS told them it had concluded that their son was the victim of physical abuse from an unnamed hospital staffer. Then in October, county police reportedly told them about the other, similar cases.
The hospital announced its NICU shutdown on Dec. 24 after the three latest incidents, but even then the alleged assailant remained unknown until police announced Strotman's arrest Friday.
"Out of an abundance of caution, we are not admitting any additional babies into our NICU at this time," the hospital said on Christmas Eve. "While fractures occasionally happen with pre-term babies since they lack full fetal bone development, we are actively working to determine how these fractures occurred."
While hospital officials said previously that fractures can happen to premature babies, they nevertheless increased security, installed new surveillance systems and notified police after the second series of attacks.
New safety measures included training on general safety and how to identify and report signs of abuse, head-to-toe examinations of the patients by doctors, and an observer system where each health care provider is accompanied by another clinician whenever they enter a baby's room, the hospital said.

What the actual fuck? Shes been doing it for years and they just now catch her. The cynical part of me feels like they would have caught her much sooner if it wasnt black babies she was targeting. I hope prison justice wins the day here, but in my experience the womens facilities are much more tolerant of these types of people.

What in the ever living fuck.

Monsters like these were encouraged by both the initial rise and the second coming of Trump.

I do not need to be this angry right now.

Dude, what the actual fuck.

Absolutely vile ghoulish behavior. I think she should get the death penalty personally since none of the babies shes forever handicapped due to her racist rotten grey matter overriding her swearing to uphold the Hippocratic Oath will have a shot at a normal life now thanks to her.

Should be charged with a hate crime as well.

Nurses don't take the hippocratic oath. They do the Florence Nightengale thing instead. The rest is entirely accurate

Wow, nuse is a real life Bane from Batman.

Wow... Just gross beyond reason. Disgusting. Had to stop eating my lunch after reading that...

I say give her the same "justice" that they give Black men in this godsforsaken cesspit of a nation.

Death penalty for this shit.

the fuck like i have no word but so angry right now

Part of me feels like this has to be a Munchausen's by proxy kind of thing, but one of those babies had 14 fractures. That feels like rage and evil.

It wasn't a shitpost. She's 100% going to get fucked up in prison. The inmates always find out why the person is in there and this was a hate crime against black children.

Death penalty

Huh. I thought I was desensitized. This is a new type of disgust.

So the babies are permanently disabled?

Fucking hell.

Honestly, death is too good for this evil monster.

Good question. Babies can recover from a lot: I was 2 when my hand was smashed flat like a pancake, but I was almost completely fine by the time we got to the hospital.

But this is a spine, something that does not heal nearly so well in the best of circumstances.

I havent heard much of woman being killed or even harmed in prison, even for the very worst of crimes. So I wouldnt get my hopes up if I were you.

Can you link to an article that mentions the races of the babies? Not that it's any less horrific, but I can't find anything suggesting it was racially motivated.

There's a long history of nurses getting away with this kind of thing. Partly because people are unwilling to believe those in the caring professions would do something like that, partly because hospitals cover up for liability reasons.

If found guilty, she should serve a very long sentence. But no, I'm not going to wish for prison torture in this or any other case.

26 years old and already a complete psychopath. She ruined the lives of so many people.

Hopefully they will be able to bounce right on back.

*This is coming from someone who got backed over by a car (face-down in the dirt and so tire over my back) as a 8 year old and thankfully never had any kind of back issues throughout my life. Kids is pretty damn tough.*

Oh, she is NOT going to have a relaxing time in prison surrounded by minority women who are mothers.

What the absolute fuck is wrong with you?

Break her fucking back and don't render aid

I worked at a maximum security male prison for over 10 years. We had staff transfer from the female prisons say that the women are generally more tolerant of sex crimes and women that murdered their babies even. They have a tendency to be more mothering and accepting of things.

However, I did hear about a woman that got her face melted by boiling baby oil and it was because she had murdered her two babies. Given the nature of her crimes I feel like it could go either way, but in a male institution these types would likely spend their time in Protective Custody for their safety.

Welp, that's enough internet for today.

Death Penalty

Only one family has stepped forward.

The rest wish to remain silent.

Of the many things I wish I hadn't read, this is at the absolute top. Jfc

Yes, and I understand that family happened to be black, but the way TC words it like she was specifically targeting black children and I'm not seeing anything to back that up. I imagine hate crime charges would apply if that were the case.
