A trusted Atlanta babysitter was shockingly arrested over child cruelty allegations after investigators said she strangled and hit multiple children in her care.
Nohely Cabrera, 25, was taken into custody after an investigation that started when a 10-month-old infant was brought to a hospital with bruising covering his body and face.
Police uncovered evidence that Cabrera abused at least four children under the age of 3 while they were in her care over the past few months.
They said Cabrera pushed a child off a couch, struck another in the mouth, grabbed a third by the neck, and placed her hands over another victim’s mouth and nose while applying pressure to “force the kid to be quiet” in separate incidents.
Cabrera has been charged with aggravated assault-strangulation, first-degree cruelty to children, and battery.
A neighbor who said Cabrera babysat her 4-year-old daughter over the last year expressed her shock of the allegations describing the babysitter as a “really great person.”
