Jeannine Campbell Arrested After Nanny-cam Showed Abuse

Jeannine Campbell Arrested After Nanny-cam Showed Abuse

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A woman who was supposed to be watching a local family’s children now finds herself in jail, charged with abusing one of the children.

Police are not releasing the names of anyone in the victim’s family for their protection.

Jeannine Campbell, 53, had worked for the family for more than two years, according to a police report, and noticed that one of their children had a black eye a few weeks ago.

They installed a hidden camera to see what was going on while they were away.

After watching several videos, they decided to fire Campbell, which they did Tuesday afternoon. They also watched the video from that day, which led to Campbell’s arrest.

A Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office report described her demeanor throughout the video as “very angry” and said it was “obvious she was abusing the child and not playing with him.”

Over a period of about an hour, the video showed Campbell slinging the child into his playpen, the report said.

Then, she threw a bouncy ball at him from close range twice; one of the impacts knocked the child over onto his back. According to police, the video showed her throwing a towel at the child, but missing; then she slapped him, knocking him down again.

After that, the video shows her getting angry with the child while she was putting his socks on. She swatted him 11 times and kicked him, knocking him on his back again, a police report said.

When police questioned Campbell about it, the report said she told the officer she knows it looks bad, and explained she was mad at the family and took it out on the child.

Campbell also said she had a headache, but understood that there were no excuses for what she did. She said while she had spanked the children before, that was the only instance of abuse.

Home Surveillance Camera Catches Prowler After iPod is Stolen

Home Surveillance Camera Catches Prowler

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ―

When a thief stole his iPod a few years ago, Tom Miller decided to install surveillance cameras on his house and garage in South Minneapolis. Sunday night they captured video of a prowler in his backyard on Abbott Avenue South.

“All of a sudden I see this man walking up my driveway and trying to get in my garage and see him jump a fence and start to approach my sliding door, where my children were playing,” Miller said.

That was about the time his next door neighbor, Karen Arris, came home and saw the guy who was dressed in a blue jogging outfit.

“Thank God the neighbor lady pulled up through the alley. Who knows what would have happened?” said the father of three.

The prowler left footprints in the snow before he took off and Miller called 911. Miller also posted information on the Fulton neighborhood’s Facebook page to alert them a possible burglar was in their area.

He also scanned the video on his recorder and found grainy images he gave to police who told them of a similar incident that happened a few blocks away that same evening.

Miller bought his four-camera system for about $500. He said the money was well spent for the extra protection it provides his family and property.

“I can’t really prevent theft but I can definitely deter it and, if something happens, see who did it,” said Miller who plans to upgrade his system and add four more cameras.

Home security cameras catch burglars in the act

New Albany woman claims Facebook ‘friend’ burglarized home

Home security cameras catch burglars in the act

By MATT THACKER Matt.Thacker@newsandtribune.com

NEW ALBANY — A New Albany woman claims a man who added her as a friend on Facebook burglarized her home Saturday after she posted a message that she and her fiancee would be out for the evening.

The entire burglary was caught on video as the couple had recently installed a surveillance system in their home.

Keri McMullen, of the 4000 block of Lucy Drive, said she posted a message on the popular social networking Web site stating that she and her fiancee would be watching a band play at Louisville’s Phoenix Hill Tavern.

The concert was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. At 8:42 p.m., two men broke into their home.

“They used a screw driver to jimmy open the back door,” McMullen said.

McMullen said her fiancee, Kurt Pendleton, works in home security. The couple has been trying to sell their home, and recently, a wine glass was broken during a house showing. No one would admit to breaking the glass.

“We put the cameras up last Monday because the house was being sold,” McMullen said. “Because people are showing the house while we’re not home, we want to know if something happens.”

Video shows the men going through McMullen’s purse and looking through their drawers. McMullen said the burglars emptied a laundry basket and filled it with things to steal.

The thieves stole a plasma television off the wall as well as a PlayStation, XBox, laptop computers and DVDs.

McMullen posted images of the suspects on Facebook and asked for help identifying the men. Someone helped identify the suspects, and McMullen realized one of them had befriended her, meaning he had access to view her profile page and any messages she posted.

She said the man added her and her sister as a friend on Facebook about six months ago.

“I haven’t seen him in over 20 years,” McMullen said. “He grew up across the street from us, so I wouldn’t have recognized him. I never would have put two and two together.”

She said the thieves were inside the house for 13 minutes and left the belongings in their front yard before returning to load the stolen merchandise into a Ford Explorer.

McMullen believes the man read her posting online that she and her fiancee would be at a concert and knew the home would be empty. Making it easier to find the home, McMullen said her husband’s work van sits in the front driveway.

She also had posted images of her home, including some high-priced items in the home.

Floyd County Sheriff’s Department Detective Jeff Firkins said they have possibly identified the suspects, but nothing has been confirmed.

“We’re not ready to make any arrests,” Firkins said.

One suspect, who McMullen described as the leader, is about 6 feet 1 inch tall with jawline facial hair and was wearing baggie jeans and a hooded sweatshirt. The second suspect was about 5 feet 11 inches tall with dark low-cut hair and facial hair. He was also wearing a hoodie. Both men are described as being in their late 20s or early 30s.

McMullen said she has learned to be more careful with what information she shares.

“I’ll never put that I’m not going to be home again online,” she said. “The guy who added me I hadn’t seen in 20 years. He’s not someone I would say that’s my friend.

“Just because you have someone on your Facebook doesn’t mean they’re trustworthy. I’m going to be weeding out my friends.”

Alleged Arsonist Caught on Camera

Overnight home invasion completely captured by victim’s surveillance camera

By Ann Wyatt Little  – bio | email

Lubbock, TX (KCBD) – Lubbock Police are searching for two suspects they say broke into a house overnight at gun point and demanded money. It all happened in the 1700 block of 48th Street, but officials don’t believe this was their first time. Police are looking into any and all links connecting this crime to others and continue to search for suspects. The entire crime was caught on the victim’s surveillance camera.

Martha Gonzales had just rocked her 6-month-old son back to sleep. “It was about 1:30 a.m. in the morning,” she said, “I felt like I’d been asleep 10 or 15 minutes and I heard what sounded to me like dishes breaking.” It was the sound of the lock on her back door breaking as two men kicked their way into her house.

“There was a big guy holding a gun to my head demanding money and drugs,” Gonzales said. She remained calm because she knew something that her intruders did not. Four months ago her family installed a $1200 security system with eight cameras. “We paid a pretty penny to buy surveillance, but it was well worth it,” she said.

There are seven cameras outside, but it was the little camera on the top of her television that captured the crime. The suspects walked in and grabbed her laptop. The video shows one suspect walking straight into her bedroom with his gun drawn.

“Are they going to kill us? We don’t have money. We don’t have drugs,” recalls Gonzales about what was going through her mind. She woke up her boyfriend, but both were forced to stay in the room. Later, one suspect asks her for the SUV keys and demands she finds them. “I just played it cool and listened to him. I help it together and didn’t show I was going to cry,” she said.

One suspect walked straight toward the TV where the little camera was mounted and turned it on its side, but that changed very little other then the view. At night, Gonzales turns the monitor off because the light bothers her baby. The system continues to record even though the monitor is off and that’s why she believes the suspects had no idea they were being watched.

“Detectives I spoke with said there was another home invasion earlier in the week,” said Gonzales. The two men took cash, a computer and the SUV keys but did not steal the vehicle. “I pray someone has the willingness to call and give the tip that’s going to put these guys away,” said Gonzales.

The first suspect is described as a Hispanic male between 18 and 25 years old. He was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweat shirt. The second suspect is described as a Hispanic male between 20 and 25 years old. Police say he has short hair and a stocky build. They believe he has a teardrop tattoo by his right eye and two teardrops by his left eye.

If you recognize these two men you are urged to call Crime Line at (806) 741-1000, you can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward.
