The search for the truth eventually led investigators to review surveillance footage from inside the hospital.
What they allegedly discovered shocked even experienced investigators.
According to court records, nurse Erin Strotman, then 27 years old, was accused of repeatedly mishandling vulnerable newborns entrusted to her care.
The allegations spanned multiple years.
What initially appeared to be isolated incidents soon developed into a much larger case.
Disturbing Allegations
Prosecutors alleged that between 2022 and 2024, several infants suffered injuries while under Strotman’s care.
Court documents described incidents involving excessive force, careless handling, and actions that investigators said placed medically fragile babies at risk.
According to prosecutors, surveillance footage showed behavior that experts considered inappropriate and dangerous for newborn patients.
Investigators alleged that some babies suffered unexplained fractures and other injuries during the period under review.
As more evidence emerged, concerns within the community grew rapidly.
Parents who had once trusted the hospital with their newborn children suddenly found themselves asking painful questions.
Could their child have been affected?
Had warning signs been missed?
How long had this been happening?
