Sentenced: 2 Blaine Daycare Teachers Charged With Abusing Infants In Their Care

[Sugar Cookie]

Two teachers at Blaine daycare center have been charged after being caught on surveillance video being rough with multiple infants in their care.

Chloe Kaye Johnson, 24, and Elizabeth Augusta Wiemerslage, 22, have both been charged with felony malicious punishment of a child under four, third-degree assault against a victim under four and two counts of gross misdemeanor malicious punishment of a child.

Both Johnson and Wiemerslage were arrested and released after posting bail.

Johnson was the primary teacher in the infant's room, and Wiemerslage was the other teacher, the complaint states.

According to the charges, on July 16, Blaine police got a report of possible child abuse at Small World Daycare Center in Blaine. The report said that a 5-month-old infant had unexplained bruising across her body.

That infant's parents said they dropped her off at the daycare center on the morning of July 15 with no bruising or red marks, court documents said. When they picked the infant up from daycare that evening, the parents noticed bruising across the lower half of the infant's body.

The parents then contacted the daycare center and asked about the bruising. They were allegedly told by the daycare center that the bruising "might be from the chair or swing in the immobile infant room," the charges stated. According to court documents, officers were given photos of the infant in the said chairs, and the leg holes didn't look tight enough to cause any marks or bruising.

Court documents say Johnson allegedly said the bruising could have come from the infant chairs in the room. Wiemerslage also said any marks might have come from the swing or chair because the infant "slumps" in her chair.

Johnson initially said she didn't notice any bruising on the infant at drop off on July 15, but said she did see "redness" later that afternoon in the infant's pelvic area. Johnson then said she noticed the redness had turned to bruising the next day, court documents state. Wiemerslage said she didn't see any redness or bruising on July 15.

According to the charges, both Johnson and Wiemerslage were seen on surveillance video in the infant's room at the daycare being rough with the multiple infants in their care.

Court documents say Johnson is seen on video handling the infant mentioned above roughly several times. Video shows Johnson sitting with the infant on a floor mat, and starts moving her around "aggressively."

Johnson then, over the next several minutes, grabs the infant in the lower half of her body and "violently flips" the infant back and forth from her stomach to her back. Johnson allegedly only let the infant stay on one side for a few seconds.

According to the charges, the video shows the infant's arms flailing, her body being rigid and her head not being supported. While there was no audio in the surveillance video, investigators could see that the infant was screaming with her mouth open while this was happening.

I wouldn't trust these two to feed my chickens or watch my dogs, much less care for an infant. I don't think they could keep a houseplant alive.

Apparently you don't have PITT BULLS... 5 or 6 of them.

That'd be entertainment for the entire family!

No offense Pitt Bull.

Why would you want to work at a daycare with children when you are irritated by them? Both should be legally prevented from working with children!

A former childcare worker will serve 30 days in jail after striking a plea deal involving the abuse of infants at a Blaine daycare facility back in July of 2024.

In exchange for pleading guilty to one count of malicious punishment of a child, prosecutors agreed to drop five other charges against 25-year-old Chloe Johnson. Johnson was sentenced to five years in prison, but the time was stayed. Instead, Johnson will serve 30 days in jail, be on supervised probation for five years and never work in a daycare again.

Wiemerslage pled guilty to malicious punishment of a child and assault in May of this year, and was sentenced to 15 months in Shakopee women's prison. That time was stayed, however, and Wiemerslage was ordered to serve 90 days in jail.

Along with jail time, Wiemerslage will be on ten years of supervised probation, will undergo a mental health assessment and abstain from drugs or alcohol. She was also ordered to write a letter of apology to the families of her young victims.

A letter of apology, give me a fucking break, if either of these two cows were the apologetic type, they would have never treated a baby like they did.
