The Virginia hospital first noticed newborns were suffering mysterious injuries in the summer of 2023. Then, roughly a month ago, three babies in the neonatal intensive care unit experienced "unexplainable fractures,” according to a statement from the Henrico Doctors’ Hospital.
The hospital grew so concerned that last week, itannounced it would stop admitting babies into the NICU until they discovered what was breaking their bones.
Now, a registered nurse has been arrested and charged with malicious wounding and felony child abuse.
Henrico County Police announced Friday that Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman, 26, was arrested in connection with an incident that occurred in November. Police said in a news release that they have reopened all of the cases reporting mysteriously injured babies at the hospital from 2023 and 2024.
Officers are combing through hundreds of hours of surveillance footage from the hospital, according to the release, trying to piece together what happened to at least seven babies.
