According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, a 54-year-old woman living in Bainbridge, Georgia, was arrested on August 11 (local time) on charges of child assault and released five days later on bail of $44,000 (about 60 million won).
A was charged with leaving a one-year-old boy with black bruises and deep wounds to his face and neck, and three counts of first-degree aggravated assault and first-degree child abuse were charged.
The father of the victim claimed that A tried to blame another child at the time of the incident.
He wrote on Facebook, `This is the best nightmare for any parent, and I'm still in shock," he wrote.
A made an excuse that the victim was injured by a plastic toy thrown by a friend in the same class, but the child's father learned the truth after checking the CCTV video with suspicion.
When the incident became known, the childcare facility operated by the church was temporarily closed. Georgia education authorities immediately fired A.
After A's decision to release him on bail was made, a number of threatening messages poured out to the judge in charge.
Local prosecutors strongly criticized these threats.
He stressed that `the law is the foundation of our community, and judges have the right to perform their duties without fear of safety' and that he would not tolerate acts that threaten judges or their families.
Meanwhile, the parents of the victim suspect that the incident may not be A's first abuse.
At the same time, he asked other parents to question their children's wounds actively with doubts.
Parents should not hesitate to ask questions about their child's woundsDon't believe in happy pictures. We received such pictures, too, but it was a day of complete pain for our son."
