A 23-year-old Pensacola man is accused of abusing two special needs children under 5-years-old while nannying.
According to Milton Police, DB was charged with two counts of Aggravated Child Abuse on Thursday. He remains in Santa Rosa County Jail on $10,000 bond.
Police say the children are non-verbal. The abuse of the children happened on separate occasions at a Milton residence.
“The investigation uncovered extensive physical injuries to each victim, consistent with blunt force trauma,” said police.
The victims are a 4-year-old boy and 4-year-girl. They’re from two different families.
According to police, the boy’s injuries were as follows:
- facial and neck bruising
- bruises to the right forearm and left thigh
- extensive bruising to the buttocks with gluteal cleft sparing
- torn upper labial frenulum
Police say the girl sustained injuries, such as “bruises to her upper lip, left upper leg, shoulder, and buttocks, with similar gluteal sparing.”
“The gluteal cleft sparing identified in both victims is a significant clinical indicator of inflicted trauma,” said police. “This finding, along with additional injuries, medically confirmed that the children were subjected to non-accidental, abusive force.”
Milton Police Chief Jennifer Frank says B was an acquaintance of the families involved. He had been a regular babysitter for those children for the last 3-4 months.
“This isn’t the fault of a parent. This is the fault of the offender who made the decision to hurt children who are under his care,” Frank said.
