A Jacksonville babysitter is accused of physically abusing an infant who was in her care while the little girl's mother was at work, authorities said.

Kala Vinson is charged with aggravated child abuse, which is a first-degree felony.

Vinson, 23, was arrested this week on a warrant issued as the result of an incident late last month at a town home on Playpen Drive on the city's Westside.

On Jan. 30, a child, identified by her mother as Syren Maloney, was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. Syren was 11 months old at the time. According to an arrest warrant, Vinson, the child's babysitter, told doctors the little girl fell down two stairs, but a medical report from the Child Protection Team concluded the girl's injuries were the result of physical abuse and not consistent an accidental fall down stairs.

The warrant shows doctors found the girl’s liver and spleen were lacerated, and she had internal bleeding, a fractured rib and brain swelling.

Syren's mother, Necole Clayton, said her daughter is receiving treatment at Nemours Children's Specialty Care. She said Syren has permanent brain damage.

"She's on 12 scheduled medications. That doesn't account for additional medications," Clayton said. "She can't breathe on her own."
Clayton said her daughter had a full life ahead, and that it's been taken away.

"When you have a child, there is no part of you that wants to see them leave this earth before you do," she said.

A supervisor from the Department of Children and Families testified in court, saying after Vinson's arrest, DCF investigators removed her own two children, ages 2 and 3, after they investigated abuse in the home. DCF terminated Vinson's parental rights.
