Sentenced: Day Care Worker Accused Of Assaulting Ohio Toddler, Pulling Out Her Hair

[Sugar Cookie]

An Ohio woman is facing a host of charges after surveillance video appeared to capture footage of her physically assaulting a 1-year-old at a day care facility.

Kristian Hemmitt, 27, has been charged with felony assault, two counts of endangering children and two counts of tampering with evidence in connection with the March 3 incident at Small Kids Adventures Learning Center in West Price Hill, WLWT reported.

Police said Hemmitt grabbed the child by the hair, forced her head to the ground and pulled out hair from the toddler’s scalp, WKRC reported.

“The defendant forcefully picked the victim up by the scalp, carried the victim across the room by its hair. Threw the victim on the ground,” Hamilton County Assistant Prosecutor David Wood said in court documents, obtained by WLWT.

Afterward, investigators said Hemmitt attempted to conceal the assault by throwing the hair she pulled off the toddler into the garbage, the TV station reported.

According to court documents, the child sustained multiple injuries to the scalp and required emergency medical treatment, WKRC reported.

A judge ordered Hemmitt held on $130,000 bond. She is also not allowed to have contact with anyone under the age of 18, WKRC reported.

A woman is under arrest on multiple charges after Cincinnati police say she violently assaulted a 1-year-old toddler at a daycare facility - and it was all caught on camera.

Kristian Hemmitt, 27, is facing several charges of felonious assault, endangering children and tampering with evidence, according to court records. The alleged crime happened at Small Kids Adventures Learning Center, court documents claim.

Cincinnati police charged Hemmitt based on the victim’s mother’s statements, video footage of the offense and medical records.

Officers wrote in court records Hemmitt grabbed the victim by the hair and forced the victim’s head down to the ground, while forcibly removing hair from the victim’s scalp.

They allege she picked the victim up by the hair, preventing the 1-year-old’s feet from touching the ground and then walked 10 feet “while performing a push-pull motion with the toddler’s hair clenched in her closed fists,” a criminal complaint states.

The victim suffered multiple scalp injuries that are visible in person and on the recorded footage, and she needs “post emergency medical treatment,” police wrote in the court documents.

Hemmitt gave a statement to police “that she disposed of evidence in a trash can to avoid detection of crimes committed,” other court records show.

A West Price Hill daycare's license is suspended pending an investigation after an employee was accused of hurting a 1-year-old child.

Kristian Hemmitt, 27, worked at Small Kids Adventures Learning Center, located on Glenway Avenue.

Court documents said surveillance video on March 3 showed Hemmitt dragging the child by her hair across the room and jerking the child back and forth, ripping the child's hair.

On Tuesday, the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services issued a suspension order, requiring the center to close pending a final determination of its license.

The daycare center can stay open until they are slated to close at 6 p.m. Tuesday, according to Cincinnati police.

Police said daycare management must notify all families with children in their program that their license has been suspended and they will not be in operation.

The center will remain closed until the investigative process has concluded.

A onetime worker at a West Price Hill daycare accused of assaulting 1-year-old girl has been deemed incompetent to stand trial.

Kristian Hemmitt, 27, of Westwood, will undergo treatment at Summit Behavioral Healthcare for six months and then be re-evaluated.

A recent evaluation of Hemmitt by the Court Clinic found that she does not understand the nature of the charges and cannot assist in her own defense.

According to prosecutors, Hemmitt, who worked at Small Kids Adventures Learning Center on Glenway Avenue, assaulted the toddler on March 3.

Prosecutor Joe Deters has said Hemmitt grabbed the 1-year-old girl by the hair, lifting her off the ground, and then dragged her across the room. While still clutching the 1-girl's hair, Deters said Hemmitt jerked the girl back and forth, ripping hair from her scalp.


He said Hemmitt tried covering up the toddler’s bald spots and threw the hair away in a trash can.

Hemmit faces charges of assault, child endangering and tampering with evidence.


She is scheduled to appear before Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Jody Luebbers on Nov. 3.

[Satanica]

I don't believe for one second that she's actually mentally incompetent. After all, she did take measures to try and hide what she did.

 

[Sugar Cookie]

She probably has an exceptionally low I.Q.

 

[cubby]

If she does have an exceptionally low IQ why in the world would you want her around children? I wouldn't put a 5 year old in charge of toddlers, why would they let her watch little kids? She tried to cover up what she did, so she knew it was wrong, or at least she knew what she did would at the very least, piss some folks off.

 

[Brillig]

They shouldn't have hired someone that incompetent in the first place. Also, I don't necessarily think her throwing away the hair is that telling. She had a handful of hair. She put it in the garbage can. What else could she have done with it? It appears there was no way to avoid a tampering with evidence charge unless she continued to carry it around in her hand for the rest of her life, which is stupid and unreasonable.

A former daycare worker accused of assaulting a 1-year-old girl in her care was found competent to stand trial on Thursday, according to the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office.

The ruling comes less than six months after Kristian Hemmitt, 28, was ordered to mental health treatment, court records show.

According to prosecutors, Hemmitt, who worked at Small Kids Adventures Learning Center on Glenway Avenue, assaulted the toddler in March.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters has said Hemmitt grabbed the 1-year-old girl by the hair, lifted her off the ground and then dragged her across the room. While still clutching the girl's hair, Deters said, Hemmitt jerked the girl back and forth, ripping hair from her scalp.

Deters said Hemmitt tried covering up the toddler’s bald spots and threw the hair away in a trash can. She's facing charges of felonious assault, child endangering and tampering with evidence.

Hemmitt was found incompetent to stand trial in June, according to documents filed in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. She was ordered to undergo treatment at Summit Behavioral Healthcare before being reevaluated.

A daycare worker accused of violently assaulting a 1-year-old on March 3, 2022, pleaded guilty to two counts of child endangerment in Hamilton County court on Friday.

Prosecutors say 28-year-old Kristian Hemmitt, who was an employee at Small Kids Adventures Learning Center at the time, picked up a child by the hair and walked 10 feet while “performing a push-pull motion.”


Hemmitt then tried to cover up the child’s bald spots and threw the hair away in the trash can, former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said back in 2022.

The charges of felonious assault and tampering with evidence were dismissed in court Friday.

What a bullshit sentence. She was mentally capable of going out and finding a job. Cashing pay checks. Feeding herself. Shopping. Getting to and from work. She was competent enough to know that brutalizing a baby was wrong. No bullshit they try to say will convince me otherwise.

This trash skank just gamed the system and the victim gets no justice.

At a sentencing Thursday for Kristian Hemmitt, Cincinnati police Detective Alexander McCoy said there were multiple instances of abuse involving the girl as well as other children at the now-closed West Price Hill daycare.

Video of the abuse, McCoy told Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Jody Luebbers, "was the hardest that I've ever had to watch."

Luebbers sentenced Hemmitt, 28, to three years in prison. In a statement that was part of a presentence report, according to Luebbers, Hemmitt denied being physically abusive to children.


"But you were … repeatedly," Luebbers said. "It's sickening to watch the video. Sickening to look at photos of what you did to this innocent child."

Hemmitt's attorney, Rich Wendel II, said in court that Hemmitt is intellectually disabled.

Her mother, Angela, said Hemmitt had worked at daycares for about a decade after graduating from high school. She said her daughter may be 28, "but her mind isn't 28."

She said the daycare's staff should have supervised her better: "They knew her mental abilities."

In court, Hemmitt apologized, saying, "I really did not mean to do what I did to that little girl."

When Luebbers asked Hemmitt if she had seen photos or video of what she did to the girl, Hemmitt said, "Yes, ma'am."

"Explain to me how and why you would treat a child that way who was entrusted in your care," Luebbers said.

"I wasn't thinking," Hemmitt replied. "I wasn't in the right state of mind."

So the daycare staff didn't have enough to do supervising the little ones, they also had to supervise this tall toddler???

Yeah, that was pretty lame! I doubt she had a different job description for the position than the other workers.
