A Las Vegas babysitter has been charged with the murder of a 5-year-old boy after home footage shows her kicking him in the head after he wet his pants.
On March 11, 22-year-old Lauren J. Courtney was babysitting Ryan Peralto and his sister while their parents were at work when Ryan accidentally wet his pants.
When this happened, Lauren’s anger was triggered entirely as this is “a continual problem” and “she is tired of having to clean up after him multiple times.”
This was her breaking point, which ultimately caused her to kick the young boy repeatedly in the head.
Kaiea Peralto, the kid’s father, just so happened to check the home security camera on his phone during his break. That is when he “saw his son motionless on the couch while Courtney was cleaning fluids off the floor.”
When he called home, Courtney informed him Ryan had thrown up blood. After running the video back, Kaiea immediately left work once he realized what had actually happened.
According to Fox News, Ryan suffered injuries to his skull, liver, spleen, intestines, and brain.
Courtney is facing first-degree murder charges related to child abuse.
