A former nurse in Virginia faces charges of child abuse and malicious wounding after allegedly injuring a baby at a hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Authorities are investigating several potential victims and urging families to come forward if they believe their babies were affected.
A former nurse who worked at the Henrico Doctors' Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, was charged with malicious wounding and felony child abuse for allegedly intentionally injuring an infant at the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit ( NICU ).
Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman of Chesterfield County was charged with one count of felony child neglect which carries up to 10 years in prison, as well as one count of felony malicious wounding for an injury sustained by an infant which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. According to WRIC, the ABC affiliate in Richmond, Public defender Scott Cardani, who is representing Strotman, told ABC News on Tuesday that she has not yet entered a plea and he declined to comment on the charges. According to court records, Strotman's next hearing is scheduled for March 24, 2025. She was denied bond, according to Taylor's office, and was ordered by the court to not have any contact with children under the age of 18. Taylor told ABC News on Tuesday that while Strotman was charged in connection to a single incident, the investigation is ongoing and law enforcement officials have so far identified seven potential victims, but added that the number could increase. 'Thus far, we have four babies identified from 2023 and three babies identified from 2024,' Taylor said. 'However, both Henrico Police Division and myself have made public statements encouraging families to reach out if they believe that their babies were impacted. Thus, this number may increase.'Taylor said that her office has been in touch with the families who have been identified so far, but officials did not name the alleged potential victims involved in this case
