A nanny working for a family on Joliet's far west side was jailed for allegedly beating and bruising the bare bottom of a 3-year-old girl with a hairbrush.
Judith Campbell, 56, of 102 Stryker Ave., was taken into custody at her home about 6 p.m. Tuesday and charged with the aggravated battery of a child.
Campbell was trying to give the young girl a bath when the child grabbed a bottle of high blood pressure pills off a dresser, said Joliet police Cmdr. Al Roechner.
Campbell then spanked the girl's bare buttocks with a hairbrush, Roechner said, leaving bruises.
The girl's parents later discovered the bruises and called the police, he said.

Whose pills were they? Medications should never be within reach of curious children.
Did this incident happen at the child!s home or the nanny's place?

Obviously someone trusted her. And look what happened. & by the way... I don't like the fact that she showers the kid. This is something that only the Mom should do. SMH... People will never learn. Never.

Well when you leave your kid or kids with a nanny , it's is something that is to be done by a Nanny... it is a Nannys job unless specified not to ... That's why a nanny is hired

Money does this..people have to leave their kids in the hands of someone they trust all day,hoping that their safe,to make money,because we have put our entire dependency on money,We chase the pieces of paper which mostly go to get water,gas,food,electric.We have let government members make providing these things for ourselves by solar,wells,wind mill,gardening in some counties,cities illegal.Against code..To keep you hooked up to the grid keeping you supporting a company. While we are out there chasing the dollar we continue to wonder why the kids today seem like they have no guidance...because they don't...we are too busy chasing paper.

John Roberts, what does chasing paper have to do with someone abusing a child?
