Lidia Quilligana
DANBURY – A 31-year-old nanny was caught on camera burning the hands and leg of a 3-year-old girl she was baby-sitting, a prosecutor told a judge on Monday.
“I have seen the video and it is one of the most horrific things I have ever seen,” Senior State’s Attorney Deborah Mabbett said. “You can hear the child screaming on the video as she is trying to get away.”
The nanny, Lidia Quilligana of Homestead Avenue, was ordered held on $1 million bail.
She was charged with first-degree assault Friday night after the mother of the child showed police footage from a nanny camera.
Prosecutors said additional charges are pending.
