A 26-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the investigation of three babies found with unexplained fractures at a Virginia hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
A 26-year-old woman was arrested early Friday morning amid an investigation after a Virginia hospital said three babies were found with 'unexplained fractures' at its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The Henrico County Police Department said Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman, of Chesterfield County, was charged with malicious wounding and felony child abuse. According to jail records, Strotman was booked around 1:15 a.m. She is set to appear in court on March 24, records show.
'We are both shocked and saddened by this development in the investigation and are focused on continuing to care for our patients and providing support to our colleagues who have been deeply and personally impacted by this investigation,' the hospital said Friday. The hospital previously said it launched an internal investigation in late 2024 after staff found three infants in the NICU suffering from fractures. According to the hospital, the injuries 'were similar to an incident involving four babies in the summer of 2023.' Police said investigators are reviewing 'dozens of videos from inside the NICU' that were captured during December 2024, as well as 2023. Henrico Chief of Police Eric D. English said multiple agencies are working on the case. 'We appreciate the families' and public's patience as we work as thoroughly and expeditiously as possible to investigate every piece of evidence in connection to these cases,” English said in a separate statement. “I would also like to acknowledge the unwavering efforts of our detectives who continue to comb through hundreds of hours of footage and extend my sincere gratitude to Henrico’s Child Protective Services (Department of Social Services), the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, Virginia State Police, the Virginia Department of Health, and the Office of the Attorney General for their assistance in this matter.” Authorities urged anyone who has information about the incidents to contact Henrico Police Det.
