Surveillance video shows a nurse abusing a premature baby in the neonatal intensive care unit of a West End hospital, according to a criminal complaint obtained by CBS 6.

The document, which was filed in Henrico Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court by an HPD detective, details a video recorded in the Henrico Doctors’ Hospital NICU on Nov. 10, 2024.

According to the complaint, Erin Strotman can be seen taking a 5-month-old baby boy’s legs and applying pressure to them.

Strotman is also observed placing her weight down on the legs of the infant and taking both legs and pushing them backward to the point where the baby’s feet reached his head, according to the document.

The detective wrote that the baby looked to be crying and in distress.

Strotman was later observed moving the baby’s right leg, and that leg did not move as freely back and forth as the left leg, according to the complaint.
