A 25-year-old Twin Cities day care worker pleaded guilty to malicious punishment of a child after she was caught on camera abusing several infants at a Blaine daycare, according to WCCO.
The news outlet reports that Chloe Johnson was also charged with two counts of aiding and abetting third-degree assault and two counts of aiding and abetting malicious punishment of a child while working at the Small World Daycare Center.
However, if the plea deal is accepted, those charges will be dropped, according to WCCO. Her sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 27.
Johnson and another woman, 24-year-old Elizabeth Wiemerslage, were charged last year after police received a report of potential child abuse.
According to WCCO, which cited court documents, surveillance footage showed Wiemerslage and Johnson treating three infants roughly. Their actions were described as aggressive and violent.
Wiemerslage was sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to one count each of malicious punishment of a child and third-degree assault.
