\nA woman has been arrested in connection to an incident under investigation by Louisville Metro Police at an east Louisville daycare.<\/p>\n
Racheal Flannery, 24, was arrested by LMPD\u2019s Office of Sexual and Physical Abuse Investigations in relation to an incident which occurred at Vanguard Academy on Dayflower Street.<\/p>\n
Flannery was charged with three counts of criminal abuse of a victim under 12 years old.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest report, Flannery was observed on security camera intentionally and violently handling a six-month-old. Police claimed Flannery placed victims in a situation \u201cthat may cause victims serious physical injury or cruel punishment.\u201d<\/p>\n
In another report, Flannery was said to have caused serious physical injury to a seven-month-old child. In surveillance footage reviewed by police, Flannery is said to have repeatedly shoved a bottle into the child\u2019s mouth while she was feeding the child.<\/p>\n
The report states Flannery stood up and forcefully put the child back in the crib and walked away.<\/p>\n
A short time later, Flannery is said to have returned and grabbed the victim\u2019s arms and forcibly adjusted the child. Flannery is then seen in the video attempting to feed the child again, forcibly placing the bottle in the victim\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the victim\u2019s head is seen shaking in the video. The victim was brought to Flannery\u2019s chest and video shows Flannery beginning to squeeze the victim.<\/p>\n
As Flannery got out of her chair, she is seen in the video intentionally dropping the child on the floor and walking away.<\/p>\n
Flannery is later seen in the video coming back to pick the child up and aggressively place the child back in the crib.<\/p>\n
The child was transported to Norton Children\u2019s Hospital, where doctors said the child sustained a left facial cheek bruise, a bruise on the left upper arm and an abrasion on the lip.<\/p>\n
Police confirmed an investigation was underway on Thursday night. Reports claimed a child had been assaulted at the location.<\/p>\n
Vanguard Academy sent an email to parents and guardians stating there was \u201can apparent incident\u201d at the daycare that had been reported to authorities.
