Bluebell Halliwell's abusive nanny in court

Bluebell Halliwell's abusive nanny in court
One of a mother's fears came true for Geri Halliwell last August, when she stepped out for a half hour, leaving her then three month old daughter Bluebell with her new nanny. She came home to find a screaming baby, with the nanny making no attempts to comfort her, and then found hand markings on her daughter's leg. The matter was investigated by the police, and in October of last year, Jasmine Schidmt, the 31 year old maternity nurse/nanny,  was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Bluebell and two other infants, both 8 weeks old at the time.

Ms. Schidmt will appear in court to face the charges next Tuesday. The Scotland Yard said,

She is charged by the Metropolitan Police's child abuse investigation unit with two counts of causing grievous bodily harm against a two-month-old child, one count of causing actual bodily harm against a two-month-old child and one count of causing actual bodily harm against a three-month-old child [Bluebell Halliwell].

Geri's rep had no comment on the charges. Bluebell is now 10 months old.

Has your child been injured (not necessarily abused!) when not in your presence? How did you react?
