Charges Dropped Against Alleged Child Abuser
An Oregon couple is furious after charges were dropped against their babysitter who reportedly admitted to abusing their child.
Joshua Marbury and Alicia Quinney came home one day in March and reportedly found their 1-year-old son Jacob with a black eye.
The couple took the child to the hospital and filed a police report.
Sherwood police said they were certain the babysitter was responsible, KATU News reports. A detective even said the attack could have been fatal and that the babysitter confessed to striking the child, Marbury told the New York Daily News.
But despite Jacob?s black eye, bruises and a stinging palm print on his face, charges against the babysitter were dropped due to a 2012 Oregon Court of Appeals ruling that states the victim must be able to describe the attack.
