If they found the baby screaming, why did it take until the next morning for them to find the baby’s bruises? Your child is screaming, so you pick him up to comfort him. Surely, a bruise on the face would be evident right then .... Don’t know if it’s the reporting or what, but something does not seem right with this story.
I think the police don’t believe them.
You should know that bruises do not show up right away. Plus, like most parents, they didn’t notice until the child was undressed (i.e. Morning diaper change & .dressing)
Besides, just because they didn’t see the extent of the baby’s injuries that night, doesn’t minimize what happened at the hands of the sitter..
The DA was going to let her get away with this if publicity didn’t catch up to him first.
Brusies take a day to develop. You might see some redness immediately, but that is variable.
