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.
Campbell was charged with battery on a child
