A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurse at a Virginia hospital is in jail after an investigation determined she abused a premature baby. And there may be more victims.
Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman, 26, stands accused of malicious wounding and felony child abuse in connection to an incident that occurred in November at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital in Richmond. But Strotman’s alleged abuse may go beyond just one incident. According to the hospital, three babies suffered “unexplained fractures” in November. Four other babies suffered similar injuries in the summer of 2023, the hospital said.
Investigators with the Henrico County Police Division reviewed dozens of videos from inside the NICU and were able to point the finger at Strotman. Detectives continue to comb through evidence, including “hundreds of hours of footage” in hopes of bringing justice to each baby who suffered abuse.
