Babysitter jailed after ‘she left toddler without food or water for 21 hours until parents returned home’

'You had one job!'
No but seriously, read the article, this is horrifying, its way worse than just neglect or abandonment.
Bedford County Investigator Michelle Alderson testified that she reviewed months’ worth of footage showing Webb ignoring, mistreating and even physically assaulting the child.
On some days, the toddler would go up to 21 hours without food or water while in Webb’s care. She would also be left in her crib alone for up to nine hours, prosecutors said.
Footage showed Webb throwing out food and drinks the toddler’s mother had left prepared for her.
The footage also showed Webb eating in front of the child, and at times, kicking, hitting or taunting her. She would also call her vulgar names, including “an effing b,” prosecutors said, according to WDBJ 7.
Prosecutors also accused Webb of pretending to shoot the defenseless child with a toy gun as the child cried.
Webb’s lawyers argued that while the footage was disturbing, her behavior was not at the level of felony neglect or abuse, as the child didn’t sustain visible injuries or require medical treatment.
However, Bedford County Judge James Updike strongly disagreed, saying that in his 47 years on the bench, he had never seen a case with so much abuse caught on video, according to the report.
2 year old kid. With a 21 year old bully-torturer.
I struggle to describe this summarily as anything other than psychopathic narcissist demon behavior.
This woman is an actual danger to society, I'm glad the kid survived.
