71-year-old Ghanaian nanny arrested in US after being caught on camera hitting and kicking a baby under her care (video)

A 71-year-old Ghanaian nanny identified as Abena Yeboah has been arrested by NYPD officers after being caught on camera physically abusing an infant under her care.

The Prosecutor's Office said the Bronx woman who was hired to take care of a baby in Hackensack, was charged with one count of Title 9 child abuse. Officials disclosed that the police in Hackensack were first notified of the alleged abuse on July 8.

Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella who announced her arrest, said;

Musella revealed that Yeboah was arrested in the Bronx by New York police after Hackensack police issued a warrant for her. She was taken into custody and is awaiting an extradition hearing.

New Jersey's Title 9 child abuse statute makes it a fourth-degree crime to inflict "unnecessarily severe corporal punishment" or "unnecessary suffering or pain, either mental or physical," on a child. People convicted of a fourth-degree crime face up to 18 months in prison.
